Dragonfly Wreath

 I wanted to make another card for the Mod Squad Challenge - Fly Away. We are to use something with wings as our focal image. I decided to use dragonflies.

I used the Gina K. Designs Follow Your Dreams stamp set for the images and sentiment. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, using the Wreath Builder Template, and coloured them with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers TB6, BT8, and GT2. I layered this panel onto a piece of Gina K. Designs Turquoise Sea cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment onto a white card base, using GKD Turquoise Sea ink, and added the dragonfly panel at the top.

It has been a mild winter so far, but this week we are supposed to get some colder weather. I'll have to dig out my scarf! 

New Home

 I know someone who recently moved into a new home, so I wanted to make a card for her. The Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge is called Put Your Red Dress On. Red must be the dominant colour and it must be a celebratory card. The Mod Squad Challenge is called Fly Away. We must use something with wings as our focal image.

I made this card, which combines the two challenges.

I used the torn paper technique that Gina and Tom used in this video. I blended Cherry Red, Red Velvet, and Lipstick ink in the space between the torn paper masks. Then I added the two butterflies, from the Birthday Blessings stamp set, in Faded Brick ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Holiday Frame Fillers stamp set, with Lipstick ink. I adhered the front panel onto a Red Velvet layer and then onto a white card base.

All the supplies are from Gina K. Designs.
