Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  This week we have a beautiful dragonfly bouquet print.

Of course, I had to use Stampin’ Up!’s Dragonfly Garden stamp set…it was just perfect for it!

DRAGONFLY GARDEN

Stampin’ Details:

• • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock.
  • The Dandy Garden Designer Paper is cut 3-3/4 x 5 and added to the front.
  • A corresponding 1-1/4 x 4 piece of Dandy Garden DSP s added across the front.
  • The circle is cut from Basic White cardstock with the Layering Circles die and stamped with the Dragonfly Garden flowers in Crumb Cake Ink.  It is popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The dragonfly from Dragonfly Garden stamp set is stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink on Basic White and the insides with stamped off Misty Moonlight Ink.  It is punched with the Dragonfly Punch and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Wink of Stella was applied to the dragonfly.
  • The greeting from Dragonfly Dreams is stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink on a 5/8 x 2-1/4 piece of Crumb Cake and cut the end at an angle.  It is adhered to the circle.

I love the “neutral” looking tones of this card!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
