Dies Days 5: Dragonfly silhouettes
Posted: July 12, 2013 Filed under: CAS, Flutters, Glory of Modesty, Maidenhairs 16 Comments
The inspiration for this panel was a vibrant tag made by Glenda Waterworth. I sponged the background in pinks, blues and yellow then stamped the glory of modesty background stamp in yellow over the sponging. The silhouetted leaves are stamped in versafine onyx black and the dragonflies die cut and attached with adhesive. This card is for my daughter who is turning 17 tomorrow and just left to compete in a track meet in Quebec. I wish I had thought enough ahead to pop it in her bag! We are heading up to watch her run tomorrow so we can deliver it in person. I hope you have enjoyed the Creative Die posts this week. If you are looking for more inspiration check out the Penny Black blog and Jill’s Inspired By blog which have been featuring the dies all week also.

You have a lucky daughter!
Stunning! What really lifts it is the white overstamping, such a clever idea. Your daughter will adore this card. Wish her a very happy birthday from us and good luck in her track event!

I didin’t think I would want the die set with the dragonflies, but I really like what you did with them. Very attractive card!
You always make the most elegantly beautiful cards!
That’s such a gorgeous card Heather – I’m flattered to have inspired you when you’re such an inspiration to ME. You inspired this birthday card I made for my husband last year. I’m sure your daughter will love the card, it’s so cheerful.

Beautifully Done Heather…you daughter will love it!
Gorgeous card Heather, I love the white stamping over the sponging, and the silhouettes are so effective. Congrats to your daughter 🙂 Cathy.
