Detailed Dragonfly Card - Mojo Monday

Detailed Dragonfly

I just LOVE the way this card turned out!!  In fact, I loved it SO much, I made one just like it I made it in soft sky too!!  Can't decide which one is my favorite!  The Blushing Bride, along with the sentiment makes for a beautiful Valentine's day card.  While the Soft Sky card would be great to send to a friend or just about anyone really, who has been there for you.

Dimensions: 

Tip Top Taupe CS - 4 1/4 x 8 1/2, 3 x 4 (dragonfly)

Blushing Bride CS/Soft Sky CS - 4 x 4, 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 (scalloped circle)

Falling in Love DSP - 3 3/4 x 3 3/4, 3 x 4 (dragonfly)

I created this card using the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge from this week.  I left out the 2 squares on the original sketch because it wasn't quite working for what I envisioned for the dragonfly.  LOVE the way it turned out!!  It's been a while since I have distressed on my cards, but felt like this needed some sort of separation from the soft colors.  I added just a touch of Tip Top Taupe ink to the edges with a sponge.

The Falling in Love papers are GORGEOUS in person!!  LOVE LOVE LOVE this paper pack!  But to be honest, I was not a fan of it as it is shown in the Occasions catalog.  SO happy I purchased it, because I would have missed out on creating with the soft colors of Blushing Bride, Soft Sky, and the muted tones of Sahara Sand.  Tip Top Taupe is a PERFECT addition to this color scheme as it is just a darker tone of Sahara Sand.

Let's talk about the Detailed Dragonfly Dies....  When I first purchased them, I had a hard time using them at first.  Just wasn't sure what the heck to do with them!  LOL  SO I forced myself to get them out and just play.  Now I can't get enough!  I just LOVE the touch of shimmer on the dragonfly from adding the Clear Wink of Stella to the Tip Top Taupe CS.  BEAUTIFUL!!

Hey Everyone!!  Here's today's project!!  I just LOVE the way this turned out!  When I first purchased the Lift Me Up Bundle, I couldn't wait to start playing with it.  BUT when I received it, I had NO idea what I was going to do with it.  So I put it up and didn't take it out for almost a month, till I forced myself last night to try to come up with something.  VERY happy I did!!  Can't wait to play some more with it!
