I made a couple of cards on my Facebook Live video this week using the beautiful Dragonfly Garden bundle. It was so much fun to use that I am sharing another card using this bundle. The images are just so pretty! I especially like the dragonfly punch, because it is so precise in punching out the stamped image. I also love to emboss the dragonfly with gold and either sponge or color the wings – they are so delicate and realistic looking! I hope you enjoy this card and give it a try.

Assembly:
All stamped images are from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set.
Use Memento ink to stamp the flowers onto a 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the image twice, the full image toward the left and a partial image right next to it, so that it looks like a large stand of flowers. Color the image as desired with Stampin’ Blends markers. For my card, I used the following colors: Light Highland Heather, Dark Balmy Blue, Dark Daffodil Delight and Light & Dark Granny Apple Green. Use Granny Apple Green ink to stamp the small fluttering bugs several times diagonally across the cardstock, see photo for placement. Adhere the completed piece to a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Balmy Blue cardstock, then to the card front.
Use Versamark ink to stamp the large dragonfly to a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and set with the heat tool. Color the wings with Light Highland Heather, Light Balmy Blue, and Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends, blending the colors where they meet. Punch out the dragonfly with the coordinating punch and use dimensionals to attach it to the card front. See photo for placement.
Punch out a small dragonfly with gold foil paper and emboss it with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder before attaching it to the card front using a mini dimensional.
Stamp the sentiment on a scrap piece of Basic White using Memento ink. Punch out with the Double Oval punch. Use dimensionals to attach this to a scalloped oval punched out of Balmy Blue cardstock. Attach this to the card front with dimensionals, See photo for placement.
Inside:
Use Granny Apple ink to stamp the small fluttering bugs several times near the right upper corner of the remaining piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp a sentiment if desired, or leave it blank to write your own message. Adhere to the remaining piece of Balmy Blue cardstock, then to the inside of the card.
Envelope:
Use Granny Apple ink to stamp the fluttering bugs onto the lower-left corner of the envelope.
