Whilst we’re waiting for the servers to come back up, how about another sneek peek – and in fact another of the make and takes that we’ll be making at my launch parties. This one uses both parts of the dragonfly bundle – dragonfly dreams and the matching Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits dies.

I started by stamping the beautifully dragonfly in versamark and sprinkled on the gold embossing powder and then heated it. I love this technique and am excited to share it at my upcoming parties. I DID use my embossing buddy but didn’t notice a little stray powder because it was hiding on the island indigo paper and then decided that I didn’t want a one layer card as I was planning. So I cut out the dragonfly which made the card more fun AND removed the embossing powder glitch. Perfect! The lovely sentiment comes from the same set – stamped in island indigo on very vanilla and then added to the island indigo cardbase.

One important tip – I thought I could use snail on the body of the dragonfly and apply it with the dragonfly on the silicone mat to mop up the extra glue. Nope! The snail is too strong and ripped layers off the card stock, so don’t try that! There you go, I’ve saved you a ruined dragonfly. Instead I used the sponge dauber and multi purpose glue and dabbed it onto the body leaving the wings free to move.
