While looking through my stencil collection, I pulled out this Dina Wakley "jungle stencil" and used a snippet of white card to make the pattern along with some green ink. I matted the panel with black and placed it on an embossed panel of white card stock from SSS {I LOVE this embossed cardstock!}. The dragonfly was made with a die from GinaMarieDesigns, and I colored it with some very old paint cups - I think they might be called Twinkling H20's. After it dried, I covered it Versamark ink and then heat-embossed it with clear ep to add a bit more sturdiness and shine. I still wasn't satisfied, so I went over it with a clear Wink of Stella pen and then finally decided it had enough shimmer and sparkle!
I heat-embossed the SSS sentiment with white ep on some MFT die-cut labels and finished this with a few black Nuvo drops.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - use some green
As You See It challenge #221 - preferences (favorite cards to make - for me it's birthday)
Seize the Birthday #185 - topping - a touch of green
CAS Stencil March 2020 challenge - use heat embossing
Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a great weekend!

This is a lovely card. I like the clean design, the pretty stencilling and above all else that gorgeously sparkly dragonfly. It's a lot of work to get just the right shine! Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It Challenge.
Beautiful design and that dragonfly in those colors is awesome. I love how it shimmers too.

Good for you, Carol, being able to capture the lovely sparkle on your dragonfly in the photograph - notoriously hard to do! I love the way you worked at getting just the right shine to it! And your jungle stencil was a perfect background. Thanks for joining us at As You See It Challenges this week.
