Dragonfly Dreams Land on a Clear Block

My dragonfly has landed on a clear block. So to speak. I’ve been playing with the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle from the Occasions Catalog. For this card, the little guy ended up landing on a clear block stamped background. I did a Pinterest search for dragonfly to get some color ideas. One image that I saved was a print of three dragonflies, laid out one below the other, similar to a specimen frame. Not only did I like the coloring, I had my design inspiration as well. Yes!

card by Paula Fats Cannon using Timeless Texture and Butterfly Basics stamps in Perfect Plum, Old Olive and Delightful Dijon

Presto Chango

Earlier this month I attended On Stage, a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator event. One of the fun things to do at these events  is to swap.  Since I didn’t make a lot of time for my swaps, I pulled a few of my cards and made new versions. Here is a card from a class I held last spring. I love the Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss color combo, with the dash of Delightful Dijon.
