Paper Crafting Blog Hop: Dragonfly Thanks


Hello and Welcome to our January Paper Crafting Blog Hop, showcasing projects focused on products in the January-June mini catalogue. Our group of Global Demonstrators are hopping ‘round the world to bring you inspiration using Stampin' Up! coordinating products. 

For my project, I've created a simple design featuring one of the Sale-A-Bration freebies (the Oh-So-Ombre paper) as well as the new Dragonfly Garden stamp (and coordinating punch!) It's a simple design that allows several of the coordinating papers to be featured.

If you have just joined me from Sue's blog or as one of my followers, I’m so happy you stopped by!

Following the Ombre feel of the paper, I started playing with the ink on the dragonfly stamp to add in a little more interest to the dragonfly itself. To get this look, I first inked it in Rococo Rose, and then traced overtop with a Blackberry Bliss marker on its abdomen and head. I randomly swiped the marker across the wings, and none of my stamped images came out exactly the same! And who can resist glitter? To add a little sparkle, I also gave a shimmery feel using Wink of Stella. I think it's a perfect touch!


I hope you enjoyed my project :) Thank you for joining me this month! Now click on the image below to hop to Terri's blog to see what fun project she designed.

  7. Amber, love the clean and simple look of the card, set off by the gorgeous dragonfly. And you have photographed the shimmer so well. I spent quite some time just this morning trying to get a good shot of a shimmery dragonfly.
