Dragonfly Dreams Card & Canvas

Yesterday, here in Michigan, everything was a sheet of ice and we had no school.  I went down to my studio and took out the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and started designing this easy but beautiful card.

To make this card I use Bermuda Bay, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Inks.  I used the Shimmer White Cardstock to stamp on, and Silver Foil Sheets to cut out the Dragonfly.  You also need a spritzer with water,  Aqua Painter, Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details.  The beautiful ribbon is the Metallic Ribbon Combo that you can get for FREE with any $50 order in the Sale-a-bration catalog!!

I spritzed the paper first with the water and then I stamped the background image with Bermuda Bay a few times.  I cleaned the stamp and then went to Old Olive and repeated and then did just a touch of Daffodil Delight.  If the paper gets to wet use a paper towel to dab dry.  Once it is fully dry, you can use your Heat Tool, then stamp the sentiment.

To do the silver sparkles you see, I took some Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details and squirted some on a big acrylic block.  I took my Aqua Painter and watered it down and then tapped the Aqua Painter over the card with a pencil to get the splatters randomly on there.

This was such a fun card and I love the colors.  After I got done I thought that would make a BEAUTIFUL picture to hang on the wall.  Then, I remembered a canvas I had bought to make something with.  So, I found that canvas and pretty much repeated the steps to create this.

For the canvas I use the Brights Candy Dots, Basic Rhinestones and the Silver Thread in addition to everything I did on the card.

Here is an up close of the canvas.  What do you think?  I really love how this turned out.  I can see a future class making this.

You can purchase all these supplies to make this at my online store, AND if you get to $50 remember it’s SALE-A-Bration and you can get FREE items  like that Metallic Ribbon!!
