I bought a MFT Sweet Celebration paper pad some time ago and used most of the sheets in it, but still have quite a few random snippets left, so rather than waste them, I put them all together to make this birthday card.
The dragonfly was done with a die from Gina Marie Designs and some white card stock. It took some time to get the colors on this, but I used Copics, glaze pens, and wink of stella before I broke out the stickles to add some defined colors overall. The stitched oval was done with a Gina Marie Designs die and I added a few gemstones for antennae. The dark blue border was done with a MFT notched border die, and I used the positive on one side and the negative on the opposite side. The birthday sentiment is from SNSS and I hand cut the fishtail banner with a hexagon punch.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
The Snippets Playground #358 - use snippets
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Brilliant card Carol! I haven't counted but I think we've got at least three dragonfly cards in the Playground this time - must be the time of year! I love that fresh stripey paper as well! A great foil for the beautiful die cut dragonfly.

Wonderful papers and a great dragonfly die. So gorgeous.
I do like how you've captured the beautiful blues and greens of a dragonfly and then combined it with all the happy colours of the patterned paper, nice job and great way of using up those snippets x
Great card and the additional dragonfly is a beautiful one...love this.x
Great way to use your pp and it looks great. The butterfly is lovely and just sparkles.
Sorry, I'm very late with visits to my blog friends. I'm very busy.
I have a lot to do with the veggie garden, helping my mom and also have to do some works for the school before it starts again, because I have had important assignments from the director. Argh! :((( I want back my holidays! :(
Don't waste nothing!! :D This card looks amazing with the lovely snippets you put together!!! The dragonfly is just stunning, it seems made from lace!!! You coloured it so well!!
Hugs
