Dragonfly Dreams Swap Card

Today is the first full day of Onstage Live here in Amsterdam and we’ve been swapping like crazy – little gifts amongst the team and cards and 3D items with the general population. It’s a lot of fun. So since people have already seen it, it’s time to share my swap card which features Dragonfly Dreams. And, you’ll be surprised to hear, emboss resist!

Dragonfly dreams

I started by stamping the detailed bee from Dragonfly Dreams in versamark and then sprinkled in the gold embossing powder and heated. Then I took so saffron, calypso coral and rose red and a full aquapainter and coloured the background. Once it was completely painted and I’d removed the excess color from on top of the embossing, I went over again with more so saffron which softened the look. I originally then matted this on basic black and mounted it on my whisper white card.  But then I made a pillow gift for my sister using a copper bee and decided to use the stitched shapes dies to cut it out. I preferred the look and since I’d only completed construction on one card and just a couple of matted bees changed my mind on the card. Here’s the original look – I much prefer the stitching and a wonder black border. What do you think?

I finished this off with the sentiment also from Dragonfly Dreams.

See you tomorrow,

I’m off to go and talk all things stamping now,
