There is something soft and dreamy about dragonflies…they are so pretty. There is a new stamp set in the Occasions Catalogue called Dragonfly Dreams. The coordinating thinlits dies make it easy to cut them out as well, so there is no need to fussy cut.
Here are the 3 Dragonfly Dreams cards my club members made last week. This first one I designed for a swap in Toronto last month…
There are lots of pretty elements on this card! The new lace doilies are white on one side and vanilla on the opposite side…love that. I used the white side here. There is a thin line of the gold metallic ribbon showing under the gold embossed greeting. (The ribbon comes in a two-pack with silver and is one of the free Sale-a-bration items:) The gold foil dragonfly rests on top of a white stitched shaped circle framelit…color washed with Smoky Slate ink and an Aqua Painter…and splattered by tapping a gold Wink of Stella pen. If you look closely, you will also see some gold thread peeking out behind the circle.
This second one was designed by my sweet friend Kay Smith. She did a couple of cool things on this card. She diecut the dragonfly out of the white mat so the black dragonfly could sit inside. To create the colored wings, she put a piece of white cardstock behind (cut slightly smaller), traced the wings and colored with the watercolor pencils, blender pens, and clear Wink of Stella Pen. The textured stamp on the top of the card is from the Touches of Texture stamp set in the main catalogue.
The final card was designed by Jo-Anne Rogers…and it’s a tri-fold card.
The card still uses 1/2 a sheet of cardstock, but you score it at 2-1/8″ from each end. Isn’t it cute?

There is also something very dreamy about babies:) I am going through withdrawal after not being able to hold Huxley this week! Hard to believe he is 1 month old already.
Happy Monday everyone…
