Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper - Scrap for dragonflies

Hey Everyone!!  This is the card I created for my very first Facebook Live!!  Although I only had a few who tuned in AND I was a tad nervous, I am pleased with the way it turned out!!  In fact, I actually had fun doing it!!  SO I plan on going LIVE every Wednesday evening at 7pm CST.  Make sure to mark your calendars for next Wednesday, March 15th to see the project I have planned.

This FB Live coincided with my sketch challenge that I hold over on my FB Page Jen's Scrappy Pages every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month.  I used the Paper & Ink Sketch Challenge #16 this week.  This was actually a super simple sketch and I just LOVE the way it turned out!!  I did change up my dimensions, which are noted under the card that I created to go along with it.  After creating my sketch card, I decided to create 2 more using the same papers and technique, which I have included the dimensions for under each card.

I created this card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and Detailed Dragonfly thinlits. For the dragonfly, I cut it out using Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and colored it using an Aqua Painter with Watermelon Wonder and So Saffron. The center of the dragonfly was colored using a Basic Black Stampin' Write marker. Background was colored using the Daffodil Delight Watercolor pencil, then stamped using the background stamp in the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set. I sponged the ink where I wanted it, then stamped off for a second generation look to soften the dots.

Dimensions: 

Calypso Coral CS - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (score at 4 1/4), 1 x 5 1/2, 3 x 4 (scalloped oval)

Whisper White CS - 4 x 5 1/4, 5/8 x 5 1/2

Shimmery White CS - 3 x 4 (stitched oval)

Hey Everyone!!  I am just in LOVE with this sweet little kitty from the Pretty Kitty stamp set.  Isn't she the cutest thing EVER??!!  I kept the card simple, because I didn't want to take away from the image.  So I only used one color of cardstock along with Whisper White CS for the embossing and Shimmery White CS to color the image on.

I really can't get enough of the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I feel like it gives a nice finished look to the oval and frames my image in nicely.  The Layering Ovals Framelits are also a favorite of mine.  The scalloped edge peeking out from the Stitched Oval adds a sweet touch to the overall look of the card.  

Because I don't have all of the markers YET, I use an Aqua Painter along with my ink pads to color in the flowers and kitty.  Top it off with a little shimmer from my FAV tool EVER, the Clear Wink of Stella!!  Who doesn't love a bit of sparkle on EVERYTHING??!!  LOL

Bella & Friends

Bella & Friends 

Dimensions: 

Pool Party CS - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (score at 4 1/4), 1 x 5 1/2, 3 x 4 (scalloped oval)

Whisper White CS - 4 x 5 1/4, 5/8 x 5 1/2

Shimmery White CS - 3 x 4 (oval for image)

Oh my goodness!!  I just LOVE how stinking sweet Bella is from the Bella & Friends stamp set!!  I KNOW that Bella is supposed to be a "girl", BUT when I saw this image, all I could think was the "she" looked like a he!  lol  SO I went with Pool Party for this card.  It certainly could be changed to a soft pink, like Blushing Bride and totally change the look!  

I used Shimmery White CS to stamp my image on.  Not only is it shimmery, but it is also GREAT to color on using the Aqua Painters!  I chose Mint Macaron for the turtle.  For the spots and rim of his shell, I applied more ink to make it darker.  The rest of his body, I just used less ink on the Aqua Painter.  I really like how the two tones came out on him!  

The Softly Falling Embossing folder can be used for more than just snow!  WHAT??!!  That's crazy talk!  I know!  LOL  I like how it gives just a bit of dimension, but allows me to stamp at the top but has depth at the bottom.  OH and ALWAYS add a bit of shimmer to your project!  Clear Wink of Stella adds just the PERFECT amount of sparkle to your stamped images.  It's like they come alive with a touch of glimmer!

I hope this inspires you to just take some time to create something fun!!  This is therapy.  Creating is WAY more than just playing with paper and ink.  It is throwing yourself into a project and letting life's stressors just melt away in the background, if only for the moment.  Life is short.  Create something!

Happy Stampin' Up!
