I chose Lagoon, Grape & Wisteria with silver accents, black and white.
I started with a thin strip of White Daisy Cardstock and swiped peacock feathers Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad I did it in a rough way to add textural element. Then I dropped some water and Clear Shimmer Brush to create some water droplets with shimmer.
I matted the strip with Grape Cardstock (on sale for March) and added to the White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack.
I stamped the dragonfly with Wisteria Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad from the Winged Masterpiece—March Stamp of the Month and fussy cut it out. I folded the wings up and put 3D foam tape. This is a lovely stamp set. Only available for March 2021, so hurry to order. VIP's can get this free with an $80 AUD order or anyone can purchase for $9 with an $80 AUD order or full price $34 AUD. (If you're not in Australia talk to your consultant/Maker about the prices in your area).
I stamped the wishing you the happiest of Birthdays in Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad on the bottom of the card base (I was rushing after a delay when a bee stung my nose - so apologies that its a little rough). Finished off with some Silver Glitter Gems.
The oxide color swiped panel shows texture and motion to your pretty dragonfly. Your bee sting didn't affect making a pretty card.
ReplyDeleteThanks I was going for a water lake river vibe :)
