Hello friends, Today I have two cards to share with you. One features the just released "Dragonfly Dreams" and the other an older stamp set. For this first card I did some ink blending on mixed media paper to create a sunset scene. After stamping the tall grasses along the bottom, I die cut and matted the center to create a focal point. The dragonfly was stamped in wilted violet distress oxide and then just the tips of his wings and parts of his body was re-stamped in salty ocean distress oxide. (Yay for stamping platforms that allow you to layer colors without the worry of lining things up right!)
