Dragonfly with alcohol inks on a collage background
I needed a special card this week and so went looking in my stash of collage backgrounds to see if anything would be suitable. I chose this serendipity background which has been embossed with the Lattice embossing folder. I die cut the dragonfly from it and wanted to fill the space with a striking dragonfly die cut. This is my fourth attempt and I am very happy with it!! I die cut the dragonfly (Spell binders) from silver foiled cardstock and coloured it with alcohol inks. I punched 1/16 inch holes to create a flight path for the dragonfly and then backed my serendipity background with some turquoise metallic paper which shows through the flight path and the die cut dragonfly hole. I glued this large element to a kraft card front. I applied glue dots to the back of the body my dragonfly die cut once it was dry and glued it into the hole. I lifted the ends of the wings a bit to give the dragonfly some dimension. Love the way it turned out!! Therese
