Dragonfly Garden

The fall is such a beautiful time of the year. The colors are changing and you never know what the next day will bring for weather either. We had a swarm of dragonflies in our backyard a couple of weeks ago. It was amazing to watch them fly around but I was very glad to have screens on our windows at the same time.

Dragonfly Garden is an awesome set. I love to play with it when I get the time. I stamped the coneflower several times before re-inking on this card. I also distressed the edges of the Basic White layer.

Dragonfly Garden Scrapbook Pages

Scrapbook pages were intimidating to me when I first started creating them. I was told time and time again that they are just big cards but I couldn't get over the size differences. I was overwhelmed with the amount of space that I needed to fill. I got over it by using page maps or sketches. I learned how to do my own thing using the sketches and I have loved creating pages!

The designer series paper has retired but I'm sure you can find something that would be a good replacement.

The dragonflies were stamped with Stazon black ink and then colored with water color pencils. After I had the color on the dragonflies, I did take my water painter and blend the colors together a bit. I also added Wink of Stella to their wings. I'm not sure how you can have wings without Wink of Stella on them!

The words are from two different sets of dies. The always is from the Always dies and friends is from Well Written dies. Both of these dies are now retired. The little dragonflies are on the same punch as the large ones. They were just punched and Wink of Stella added to the wings.

Don't be intimidated by the size of scrapbook pages. Find a sketch or a page that you like and use your own papers to create your own page! They aren't as difficult as they may seem!

Polished Pink

It's that time of the year again to welcome 5 new colors to our color choices! I do an In Color Club where each month you will receive the ink pad, cardstock, blends, marker, ribbon and a card for $43. There is an option to do an add on which includes the refill ink, shimmer vellum, jewels, designer series paper and ombre bags for $13.50 extra. This is every month for 5 months so that you will get all 5 of the new In Colors. If you'd like to join, I can add you! Just let me know! (If you are not local to me, there would be shipping costs added.)

So, I started with Polished Pink. This card uses Polished Pink, Smoky Slate and Blushing Bride. Hippo Happiness was the stamp set of choice and I did baby wipe swipe for a technique. I think it's a very cute card and I look forward to sending it to my niece.

Dragonfly Garden found it's way to my stamping table too so I thought I would do a little different color combination with this set. The colors are Polished Pink and Soft Succulent. This card has LOTS of layers. Way more than I normally used but the finished product makes it all worthwhile.

How about some strawberry and peach ice cream? We are well in the 90's for temperature and I'm not sure how high the humidity is but it feels like an oven! Ice cream seems like a really good idea right now! There is Wink of Stella on the ice cream scoops for extra glitz.

Well, there is some inspiration for Polished Pink. If you are interested in joining my In Color Club, please let me know! I'll get you all the information and set up right away. My email is missmadstamper@yahoo.com
