Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies

This was actually a post to showcase the bermuda bay glimmer paper but it’s sold out in the US. If you’re in one of the other markets you can still get it. But let’s assume that you have some leftover – or our standard glimmer paper! I was having trouble with this particular colour glimmer paper – trying to pair it with bermuda bay card stock and it just didn’t work. The other evening, I looked at it in frustration and realised that it looks a whole lot more like island indigo. Mostly. Bingo! And it looks great with the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies.

So I’ve got a bermuda bay glimmer paper dragonfly and it’s so sparkly. I put it on a piece of whisper white edged by a skinny mat of island indigo. Bermuda bay just didn’t work. The card base is thick whisper white and the entire front of it is dry embossed with the petal burst textured impressions embossing folder – this is one of the items that (at least) is available as a freebie in the UK during Sale-a-bration. Not so in the US for some reason. I then decided to use one of my current favourite sets for sentiments, Bunch of Blossoms. But here I found that island indigo didn’t work for the sentiment – too dark, even stamped off it didn’t work. Bermuda bay looked much better. I’m thoroughly confused by the bermuda bay glimmer paper, just know that you should consider both bermuda bay and island indigo if you’re using it!

I used the layering circles framelits dies to cut out the sentiment and the slightly larger scalloped one to cut out a mat from the glimmer paper. I popped that up with dimensionals. This card has been many days in the making (the bermuda bay threw me off!) and I’m finally happy with it.
