The January Club Kits are now available for new subscribers! I'll be sharing my makes in the next few days, spacing my posts out a little more than I've done in the past.
Today I'm showing you the Dies of the Month: Soaring Dragonfly, paired with the Embossing Folder: Faceted Petals, with sentiments from the Clear Stamps and Dies: Nature's Dance.
supplies: white and black cardstock, royal and turquoise glitter cardstock,
Soaring Dragonfly dies (includes "hello"),
Faceted Petals embossing folder, swiped with tumbled glass distress ink, a
Nature's Dance sentiment and matching die, adhesive foam squares
Isn't this dragonfly lovely? I used the more detailed option for wings, but there's also a striped option, too. The die set also includes this hello, plus some small flowers and leaf sprigs. I think of dragonflies as irridescent, so I used 2 colors of glitter cardstock to paper-piece the details in it's wings, and when I attached it to my card base, I popped up the ends of each wing for some slight dimension.
Here's a much more CAS design for my 2nd card, just using some of the leftover die-cuts from above.
This time I used the aqua glitter wing outline dies that I had cut for the piecing above, placing them onto vellum. I popped the body up this time and bent the wings upward. I wish I could capture the sparkle of the glitter cardstock for you....
