CUTplorations, a reminder

Just popping by to remind you that there is still time to join in over at STAMPlorations month long Things with Wings blog hop and linky party.

Here's my card using the dragonfly layering dies, Magical word die and a sentiment from Born to Roam.

We have two or three large ponds around us and the mayflies and dragonflies are always buzzing around the garden, a real sense of summer. The dragonflies are huge and often give you quite a shock if you should be passing when the buzz by! I went with the smaller mayfly idea and coloured one outline accordingly.

The background was made with a load of the cut outlines arranged on a panel of white card and the coloured one added on top together with the silver Magical. The sentiment was stamped and embossed in white on black card. My dragonflies wings were made by placing a die cut vellum dragonfly under the coloured one, drawing in the veins with a Copic pen.

To finish, I trimmed the panel down and mounted it on pads over a white base card.
