Dragonfly Dreams Vellum Shimmer - mint

Background BasicsI started by stamping the dotted Dragonfly Dreams image in Mint Macaron ink along the lower half of a Mint Macaron card base. Next, I stamped the Dragonfly Dreams sentiment in Memento Black ink onto a 5-1/2" x 2-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock.  After the dragonfly is stamped (more about that below), this layer was matted onto 5-1/2" x 2-3/8" Basic Black card stock and adhered to the card front with SNAIL. I tied some Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine around it and tied into a double-knot.

Colorful Dragonfly LayerBefore adhering all the layers together, I stamped the dragonfly image. I used the solid, wings-only stamp and colored them directly on the photopolymer stamp with a Mint Macaron and Bermuda Bay Stampin' Write Marker.  The colors blend fantastically and look great showing through the frosted transparency of the vellum!

Shimmery Dragonfly LayerI die cut the intricate dragonfly from Vellum Card Stock using the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits.  I attached it to the card with a couple of Glue Dots, then brushed on some Wink of Stella clear glimmer!  Oh.My.Gosh!  You should see it shine!  I love making those dragonfly wings look iridescent!

Finishing TouchesI finished off the dragonfly with some Pearl Jewels and added a few tiny ones on the other side of the sentiment, too!

Two CoolThe second card starts with a Sweet Sugarplum card base with dots stamped in the same color.  I tried a different sentiment from the same set.  I also added some Blushing Bride Baker's Twine around the card this time.
