Dragonfly Birthday

Welcome

I made this card some time ago, and forgot to blog it... 


The dragonfly stamp is huge, but beautiful - it is very intricate in it's detail.  
Not sure of the maker as it came in an unmarked package.


I stamped and embossed it  in silver detail ep on patterned paper.  
It was then painted with twinkling H2Os.


Although the paint doesn't show well on the wings, I did use a pale purple on them - the detailing is amazing.

  19. Yes, you must use this stap again, it is such a lovely image and has so much scope for colouring. I like to use a bit of Sticklesl on top of wings like this to give it that lovely shimmer so maybe yhou can try that another time.
    i too love the Twinkling H2O's which I imagine a lot of people new to stamping don't see that often but they do give a lovely sheen to everything and there are some beautiful colours.
    A lovely card again.
    Blessings, Neet xx
