Jumbo Curiosity Dragonfly for Paper Players #638
30 April 2023
Happy Sunday.
It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's tic-tac-toe week! Looking at the options on the tic-tac-toe board I was inspired to die-cut and ink up the Jumbo Curiosity Dragonfly die from The Greetery. I love this die set!
Here's a sneak peek:
As you can see, I went with some fairly bright colors! From the tic-tac-toe board I chose bright colors, birthday and die-cut.
Die-cutting and coloring the dragonfly was easy. I used finger daubers to color it and then backed it with 4 other die-cuts from white cardstock. I find thata the ink soaks through when applied so heavily, so the dragonfly needed a little stability. For the background, I used an old stencil from Tim Holtz and used a lighter shade than I had used on the dragonfly. All that was left was to add the sentiment and adhere the dragonfly. I popped up the wings with some double sided foam tape.
Here's my full card:
I hope you will join us and play along with Anne Marie's tic-tac-toe board. We would love to see what YOU are inspired to create. As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:
I am hoping to get some time in my crafting space this week to play along with some challenges. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee
