Dragonfly Splatters

Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with a couple cards featuring the Dragonfly Dreams set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.


For my first card, I started with a randomly stamped background of dragonflies, stamped with pigment inks.  I stamped the solid wings in a mint color and the detailed wings in a teal color, then added the detailed bodies in brown.  When I was done with this, I stamped one more dragonfly on white cardstock and quickly trimmed around to accent my sentiment panel.





The scripture stamp is from the By the Sea stamp set, and I embossed it onto a white circle die cut, then matted with brown cardstock.  I adhered this to the center of my panel, then used the two green inks to make some splattres on the page.  I finished off with the dragonfly accent and a few holeless sequins for a bit of shine.

My next card uses the same dragonfly stamps, but I inked up the solid wings on my Misti with green and turquoise ink then stamped and spritzed to get the colors to blend. Once I had a nice blend, I stamped in brown with the detailed wings, and then stamped the body. I realized I had postitoned the wings too low, so repeated the process above with the wings and fussy cut them out to pop up a little further up the body to give the appearance of fluttering wings. These are painted with a glitter pen brush and absolutely shimmer.



I then stamped the sentiments from Sentimental Mash-up in the corner, one in two shades of green and the other in black.  I finished with lots of splatter in the colors of ink I had used.

Beautiful cards Julee,and I love the way you have used the dragonfly stamps to show just how versatile (and forgiving) they are - especially the second one!
