Dragonfly Dreams-Dapper Denim

 By now if you have been following my blog you should know that creating a simple card is my favorite thing to do.  Here is another card where the thinlit makes the card.  I have loved these dragonflies since the first time I saw them.

I hope you can see the Glitter and Clear Epoxy shapes on the head of each dragonfly.  I had fun using the in color acrylic shapes on these cards, trying to figure out which shape to use on which card.  Sometimes these extra accessories are forgotten, but they can add a great element to a card. 

Do you know what In color is left to feature tomorrow?  Come back to see if your guess is correct.

Embossing Paste-Dragonfly Dreams bundle

  Can you see the stencil I used with the embossing paste on this card?  I thought it would be fun to try using the dragonflies.  Here are the steps I used to make my stencil.

1. Use a piece of window sheet.  It is stiff enough to make a stencil.

2. Cut out your desired stencil.  At first I looked at what was left over when I cut out the strips of dragonflies and it was too open for what I wanted to use.  Then, I looked at the strip and decided to try to put the paste over them.

3. I mixed the paste with the new Tranquil Tide in-color ink.  I knew when I applied the paste that it would go beyond the edges of the stencil, so I did it intentionally.  I moved the stencil to two different spots on the card stock.  Then I filled in open areas with splotches of the paste.  I loved the end results.  And what better saying to put on this card than one about friends.

I hope you have had fun looking at these cards and are kind of excited about trying out the paste on your own.  Don't work with a demonstrator already, then order from me from the link at the top of the page.

Next week, I will for sure show off the cards you will be able to make at my New Catalog Premier.  Have a great week, and have fun stamping.

Dragonfly Dreams-Miscellaneous Monday

   Have you seen the Occasions catalog yet?  This set called Dragonfly Dreams was one that jumped out of the catalog at me and has become my favorite. Today's card shows off the stamped dragonfly image. And  best thing is there is a matching framelit that will cut the dragonfly out.
Don't you love sets that match the stamp and the framelit.

I love the realism of the background paper used in this card. It is called Falling in Love and can be used for so many things: Weddings, Anniversaries, Valentines, Birthdays, or just thinking of you.

This picture you shows you which layers I used dimensionals on. So this is a simple card that could be used with all the elements of this Bundle and the Falling in Love Designer paper.

Come back tomorrow to see a card I made using the masking technique.
