Warm dragonfly wishes

 


Hi there! Thought I  would have a play with some inkables on a card today.

I began by blending shades of green Distress oxide inks across a 14x14cm piece of white card.

I then placed the jungle leaves inkable over the top and blended some black soot distress oxide through it.

I splattered a little water on it, lifting off with a cloth. Once this was dry I placed the inner part of the Dragonfly easy frame onto the background and blended more black ink around it. 
Next I stamped some of the worker stamps from the doodle art dragonfly set around the background.
I stamped the dragonfly stamp onto a piece of watercolour card, cut it out and coloured with ecoline pens.

I attached the background to the base card, then added the dragonfly with 3d glue.
finally I added a sentiment using black ink on a scrap of white card and doodled a border using a black fine liner.
Here is the finished card with a little glossy accents added to the dragonfly.
Here are the products I used:
Distress oxide inks in Lucky clover, cracked pistachio, rustic wilderness and black soot
Inkable 6" easy frame - dragonfly
Doodle Art Dragonfly stamp set- regular
Wordage everyday sentiments 1- regular
Ecolines
glossy accents

 Bev and Sam are on Create and Craft on Tuesday with some brand new stamps and Inkables. Before I go here is a sneaky peek! 

before I go I also want to say thank you for the lovely comments you leave for me. I am so sorry I am so useless at commenting. It has been a bit busy recently with craft and non-craft stuff.  I will share some pics soon from Meg's garden now it is taking shape. Thanks for looking!

    I just adore the way you have done the background Sally with the stencilled leaves and black to bring them out which works a bit like the Jacob's Coat technique, and then added the stencil outline of the dragonfly in the same way which looks great! I love the colourful stamped dragonfly added over the top and also some of the wonderful worker stamps. A super sneaky peek of some of the new stamps too. x
