Our theme is Anything Goes - but please remember we are a STAMPING challenge and we need to be able to see stamping as the MAIN focal point of your entry!
If you go to the blog you will see the rules and of course the prize that we're giving away this challenge!
I've done a bit of inky dusting and and embossing this month using a few stamps which I've had for a while.
Inks used were Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon.
I stamped and white embossed the Stampendous Dragonfly Vine stamp, then used Cosmic Shimmer in shades of Violet Frost and Golden Pear on the wings. Quite pleased with it in real life as it has blended well and looks effective.
The delicate 'bits of wings' background stamp and the 'Dragonfly Dreams' words are from a set which has a date of 2008 (!!) and was by a company called The Stamp Bug.
Stamped the 'wings' background with Mermaid Lagoon and white embossed the words.
Finished the panel with a few 'dew drops' then mounted it onto co-ordinating card before adding to the white card base.
I am currently on my first overseas tour of my Presidential year - in Spain- so I hope the weather is kind - to all of us wherever we are!!!
Also hope that this scheduled post has published! Will be round to visit you all on my return in a few days. x
