Jumbo Curiosity Dragonfly for Paper Players #654
20 August 2023
Happy Sunday.
It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's Clean and Simple Week. Ann chose a great theme for our CAS challenge and one that inspired me to bring out one of my favorite dies - the Jumbo Curiosity Dragonfly die from The Greetery.
Here's a sneak peek:
Oh... and it's the second card in 24 hours that doesn't have a white base!!!! :-)
Here's Ann's challenge:
This card came together really easily. I die cut the dragonfly and then blended his colors with my finger blenders. I added some metallic watercolor paint splatters and then added some glue down the body of the dragonfly and spread some gold flakes on it. I die-cut the tag and then embossed it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder from Stampin' Up! to add a little texture and interest. I die-cut a second tag from Copper Clay card stock. Really easy card to put together.
Here's my card:
I hope you will join us and play along with Ann's challenge. As always the design team have some fun inspiration for you:
I'll be back tomorrow with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight,,
Hugs
Jaydee

Jaydee, Your dragonfly is gorgeous. The color, texture and gold touches really came together perfectly. It really pops off the white tag.

Love this! How ironic I just had this dragonfly die out yesterday for an upcoming CTD card! It's a favorite for sure!

Two fabulous cards in a row, Jaydee! I love the colors you chose - that blue-green/turquoise combined with deep copper and then backed by a white textured tag is killer!
