Hello!! Stopping in with a card today that uses more new crafty purchases. This time from Stampin Up!. I'm a total sucker for butterfly and dragon fly stamps and dies and when I saw the Dragonfly Dreams and matching Detailed Dragonfly dies in the spring 2017 SU! Occasions mini catalog I just had to get them. Finally got a chance to make something with the set in the last few days. The card was actually built around the copper butterfly. I did a light color wash on some watercolor cardstock using a light blue ZIG marker. I let it dry a bit and then stamped a solid image dragonfly on the panel using Peeled Paint and Forest Moss distress inks and blended it out a bit with some clean water. A splatter image from another SU! set I got was stamped with Broken China and then blended out a little with water. When everything was dry I added some Crystal stickles to the wings. The sentiment was stamp in Forest Moss. I trimmed down the panel and then adhered the dragon fly and some sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. For a little drama I decided to adhere the panel to some dark grey glimmer cardstock and then to a white card base. Wishing you a wonderful day...
Supplies: Cardstock: white, SSS charcoal glimmer, watercolor, Copper shimmer; Stamps and dies: Stampin Up!; Inks: Ranger Distress inks; ZIG clean color markers; Sequins: Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear
