Dragonfly Thank You Card

This week's theme over at CARD A DAY BLOG is "Thank You" cards.

As the featured designer for January 18th, I decided to use up some scraps and try something new.

The "new" is the dragonfly outline sticker.  I've had this pack for a few years and decided it was time to use it!  First thing I did was select the scraps I wanted to use....four coordinating papers.  I took a plain white piece of scrap cardstock and put the dragonfly sticker on it.  Using Distress Inks and a waterpen, I inked the area around the dragonfly to match my papers.  I wanted the dragonfly to stand out so I used LuminArte Twinkling H2Os on it for some nice shimmer. 

 Once the H2Os were dry, I added a coat of Glossy Accents to the body of the dragonfly which made it more dimensional.  Below is a close up of the face of the card.  You can see that I used Vintage Photo DI all around the various layers of the card. 

Supplies:

*White cardstock (5.5" x 8.5" folded) plus scrap piece (2.75" x 3.25")

*Four coordinating pieces of scrap designer paper cut into these sizes:  4.25" x 5.5", 1.75" x 5.25", 3" x 3.5", 3.5" x 1.5", 3.25" x .5"
