Sketch challenge - dragonflies


It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to follow the sketch below.




I stepped out of my comfort zone on colors with this one. The big dragonfly is stamped in versamark and heat embossed with copper embossing powder. The background is created using the smaller dragonfly silhouettes, versamark and clear embossing powder. Then I went to work with Distress Inks in antique linen and vintage photo. The layer in the back is metallic copper.  



So, what are you waiting for?!

Why not play along with us and start stamping up a card now. We can’t wait to see your creations!
Don’t forget… Take part in any of our challenges, the more you play along, the more chances you have to win! Each submission enters you in the drawing for our gift certificate. And you don’t always have to use our stamps in your creations, but we will reward you if you do. Each submission using a Repeat Impressions stamp will earn you an additional entry in the drawing!

Also, check out our Rock Star blogs to see what they did with the challenge.

I love the way you repeated the dragonfly in the background and made your strips into banners! Such a fun monochromatic card!

So pretty! I really like how you "zoomed in" on the dragonfly to use only part of the image; a great way to stretch your stamp collection.
