When I first saw the Dragonfly Dreams stamps set (other than thinking my friend Mary would be SO happy), I thought of this card that I originally created for the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip Cruise Swap back in May of 2014 when Work of Art first came out. It has been one of my most popular Pinterest pins!
I thought it would be pretty easy to recreate it using the new Dragonfly Dreams stamp set in the Occasions Catalog and some different colors! I must admit that I love this one as much as I loved the first one!
Here are the details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pool Party cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Tip Top Taupe.
- A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Tasty Treats Designer Paper was placed down the left side.
- The 3 x 4-1/4 piece of Whisper White was stamped with the speckle image in Dragonfly Dreams twice with Pool Party full strength and twice with Tip Top Taupe stamped off. The corners were rounded with the Project Life Corner Rounder.
- A 1/2 x 3-3/4 piece of Basic Black cardstock was added underneath the left side.
- Some Pool Party 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon was tied around the Whisper White and knotted.
- The greeting from Dragonfly Dreams was stamped with Memento Black Ink. The Whisper White layer was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The strip of dragonflies from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlets were cut from both Pool Party and Tip Top Taupe cardstock, then cut apart two of them, overlapped and glued them together, then placed on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- To finish off the dragonflies, the wings were colored with Clear Wink of Stella and two Rhinestone Jewels added to the bodies of each.
