I used images from Follow Your Dreams, along with Celebrate The Season and Hope Grows on my card.
I stamped the larger dragonfly, from Follow Your Dreams, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic markers, starting with V06.
Added B04.
Added BG02.
Filled in with B00, then added some sparkle with my Startdust Glitter Pen.
Next, I colored the smaller dragonfly, starting with R08.
Added RV23.
Filled in with Y11, then used C5 on the body. After coloring, I cut out both images.
For my background, I cut Pure Luxury White card stock to 3 1/4 by 4 1/2 inches and sponged Memento Lulu Lavender ink.
Sponged Memento Summer Sky.
I cut a sticky note to 2 1/4 by 3 inches and used it to mask the center of the background. Then I sponged more Lulu Lavender ink.
Then I used the small leafy branch, from Hope Grows and stamped around the edges of the sticky note.
Next I removed the mask and used it to mask along the bottom edge. I stamped the greenery, from Follow Your Dreams, with Memento Bamboo Leaves.
Added another sticky note mask along the left side and stamped the branch, from Celebrate the Season, using Memento Bamboo Leaves, but this time, stamped off on scratch paper first, to lighten the image.
Stamped the greeting, from Follow Your Dreams, using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
I layered with Pure Luxury Vibrant Violet and used Lovely Lavender for my card base. I used my Scor-buddy to add a few score lines to accent the sentiment. I also added score lines to the card base lining them up to match the ones on the background panel. Used a corner rounder to round the bottom corners of my card base.
And here is a close up or the dragonflies so you can see the shimmer from the Stardust Glitter Pen.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope your day is wonderful!

There are so many things I love about this card....the Stardust on the dragonflies wings has to be my favorite, though - GORGEOUS! And of course you did an amazing job coloring the dragonflies! I like the colors of the background and the way Thanks! is set into the embossing (sorry, hard to describe what I mean here). Such a lovely card. Thanks for sharing!

Yowza! I wish I could have a printout of your brain. Someone should study you and teach a class on how your mind works. It might provide hope to the rest of us mere mortals. GORGEOUSNESS!
Absolutely gorgeous!! love the fireflies
Oops; DRAGONflies not fireflies
Hi, Theresa,
Ooo, I love the shades, masking off and the Stardust pen (going to buy one now). I Love when Gina uses her Sakura clear pen a lot! Am wondering about Stardust, the difference between the two - thanks for the beautiful work!!!
