Dragonfly

Here is a spring birthday card I created using Elisabeth Bell's Dragonfly digital stamp and combined it with the sketch at Sugar Pea Designs and photo inspiration from Cupcake Inspirations.


From the inspiration photo I used the dragonflies, small flowers and I used the color pink (also added blue and green into the image).

SPDSS25      


I started with a 4 1/4" x 6" card base. Onto the base I layered a piece of rose card stock onto a piece of brown card stock and then added a piece of brown dot distressed patterned paper.  I rounded the corners of each layer and the corners of the card base.  I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens and cut it out using a nesting rectangle embossing die.  I added a thin line of pink around the edge using the CR3 Spectrum Noir pen and then backed it in brown card stock. I added two loops of pink and brown dot ribbon peaking out from under the image and 2 light pink paper flowers each with a pink pearl to the bottom corner. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the brown dot patterned paper.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
