Good morning and what strange weather we have at the moment. It is 0 degrees outside, the sky is gray and I need the lights on in the house as it is dark. Mr. Weatherman has just told us that it is snowy rain that is expected today and we shall have a high of 2 degrees. ooppps.
It is day 26 of my card a day challenge so only a few days left. For todays card I thought I would share another Dragonfly Garden card with you showing some of the wonderful patterned papers.
- I started off by stamping the main image on to Shimery White card which is perfect for painting on with inks and water.
- I also stamped the dragonfly on to the same card.
- I coloured the dragonfly in using Calypso Coral ink in the lid of the ink pad and one of the aqua painters.
- Once the image was dry, I punched it out using the co-ordinating punch.
- I mounted both the sentiment and the floral image onto Calypso Coral card, which is also the colour of my base card.
- I put a piece of the lovely patterned paper onto the card base using wet glue, giving me a little wiggle room if I didnt get it straight. I left a little border around the edge of the paper so that the Calypso Coral card could be seen.
- The floral image and the sentiment was then adhered to the card base, using 3D foam pads/dimensionals.
- I finished it off by going over some of the flower heads and dragonfly with Wink of Stella, just to add a little sparkle.
