Watermelon Wonder Dragonflies

Pretty Petals DSP, Watermelon Wonder and Dragonflies.
That's what today's card is all about.
Watermelon DragonfliesThe base of the card is Basic Black with a layer of Whisper White.
Next I added a layer of Watermelon Wonder that has been embossed with the
Elegant Dots embossing folder.
A layer of Basic Black, Watermelon Wonder and last but not least is
Whisper White that we stamped on.
When I cut the Whisper White layer, I cut a 1 1/8" slit on the right side.
I then cut a 1" x 6" strip of designer paper from the Pretty Petals DSP Stack.
I punched one end with the Triple Banner Punch and then slipped this into the
slit so the banner is coming out both end.
So adorable.

I'm in Salt Lake City getting ready for the big Stampin' Up! Convention!!!
Watch for fun pictures from all of our activities while I'm here.
Yesterday afternoon we went and toured the Stampin' Up! home office.

Lost Lagoon, Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe

I've been playing with some of the new In Colors — I'm sure you've been able to tell.
I saw a similar card on Pinterest (I am sorry, I forgot to write down their name).
I loved the Lost Lagoon and Mint Macaron combination but felt it was
missing just a little, so I added the Tip Top Taupe.
I love this new color as a neutral accent.
This is the second card we did at my Awesomely Artistic Class.
Lost Lagoon FlowersI used the Heavy Whisper White cardstock for the base — this stuff is awesome.
I added a layer of Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron.
I stamped the flower image onto a piece of Sticky Note and cut around it.
Next I stamped the flower image with Island Indigo.  I put the Sticky Note
mask over the flower and stamped the "burlap" image above and below
the flowers.  I used the small fern image with Tip Top Taupe that is stamped
off and added a few ferns around the flower image.
I added a few "splotches" also with Top Top Taupe that is stamped off.
Last I stamped a dragonfly with Mint Macaron and cut out with my Paper Snips.
I added a small dimensional to the back and adhered to the card front.

Awesome Island Indigo Flowers

Last night was my Awesomely Artistic stamp class.
Everyone got the stamp set and made four cards.
There are so many possibilities when using this stamp set.
Island Indigo FlowersThe first card is an Easel Card.
The card base is Island Indigo with Smoky Slate layers.
I used the Regals DSP Stack to layer on the Smoky Slate cardstock.
The flower image was stamped with Stazon and colored
with a blender pen and ink pads — Island Indigo for the flowers,
So Safron for the flower centers and Old Olive for the leaves.
