Good Saturday morning, peeps. This is my last Saturday in NC and right now it's 36 degrees. It'll be a shock to go from the 50's highs back to 100 degree heat index!
I used the upcoming Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set (January - June 2021 Mini Catalog) and the current Best Year Stamp Set to create my card for today.
It's another monochromatic, which I love to create! I'll describe the inside first but you'll also see the outside along with it!
I stamped a sentiment and images from Dragonfly Garden on the inside Purple Posy mat and adhered it with liquid glue. So, as you can see, this is a "Z" fold card. My card base is Whisper White Thick Card Stock. Measurements are listed below.
Then I stamped a sentiment from Best Year in Highland Heather at the bottom of the remaining Purple Posy mat, which is a smaller size than the inner panel. I wrapped a piece of ribbon around it and secured it on the back, leaving enough to cut for making a faux bow. Then I attached that to the Highland Heather mat.
Using a 2 3/8" Stitched Shape die, I cut the Playing With Patterns DSP circle. I adhered that above the ribbon with liquid glue.
On a scrap of Whisper White, I stamped the dragonfly in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with my Light and Dark Highland Heather Blends. I punched it out with the upcoming Dragonflies punch and adhered it to the circle with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Then I adhered that layer to the front of the card, only putting liquid glue on about 1" of the left side of the Z fold, making sure the panel hid the inside panel.
Unfortunately, it won't lay flat so that I could show you that but I know you get it! I may add some bling. What do you think?
I finished off the envelope with a dragonfly on the front and more Playing With Patterns DSP on the flap.
I'm entering my card in the Aud Sentiments Challenge #263 - ATG with a sentiment and StampingPals Challenge #8 - Punches.
Thank you for stopping by today.
