Sending paper hugs

Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges with this card today.

I smooched distress oxide and distress ink onto watercolor paper using a piece of acetate to create this dreamy background.  The white heat embossed script stamp is an old one from My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee stamps. 

I splattered some black paint before adding the dragonfly die cuts and their blue vellum shadows. Lastly, I added some dewdrops, which are hard to see unless you enlarge the photo. 

This card is for the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge - things with wings

Dream Valley Challenge - things with wings

You don't look a day over fabulolus

Hello everyone. Here is your mid-month reminder about the current challenge going on over at The Flower Challenge blog.

 

Here is another card that I created for the current challenge.

Here is another quarter of my stenciling session with the Altenew stamps and stencils. Simon Says Stamp inks are used here.  

Dragonfly die is again from Memory Box, I believe. I have so many dragonfly dies that it's hard to keep track. LOL.

Mixed media card

Hello. Playing in the sketch challenge over at The Paper Players today.

I've had this snippet in my stash from a mixed-media play session that I finally put to use on this card.

I used the cling wrap watercolor smooch technique with the blue. Then added a layer of embossing paste through a stencil. A script background stamp and splatter is added to the mix to finish off the card panel. The dragonfly is a die that I cut out - added some Nuvo silver gilding flakes to it and stuck it on its shadow. The shadow was done by adding some blue perfect pearl to it. It sparkles in real life. 

I really like how this turned out.  Thanks for stopping by.

Spread kindness

Hello. It's a D for Dragonfly over at the Alphabet challenge blog.  Thought I'd play along today since dragonflies are my favorite.

The dragonfly die is from The Greetery. I used an alcohol background that I had in my stash to cut up the wings. The spread kindness sentiment is from Mama Elephant. I've already forgotten who makes the lovely 3D embossing folder. Anyway, I highlighted the flowers using some pan pastels. 

Entering this into the following other challenges:
