Time for a birthday card, I made this about a week ago, but don't share the posts till later on the day of the birthday. I don't like feeling pressured to create anything. For me, it takes the joy away from crafting.
Starting with a white piece of card, I used Versafine Clair "Verdant", a lime green coloured ink to stamp the dots around the edge of the card. The dots are part of a Stampin' Up stamp set called "Dragonfly Dreams". I then used the same ink with a blending brush to colour the edges of the card.
I used "Sky Blue" Ranger Archival Ink with a blending brush to colour the central area of the card. Then using Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink and a cotton but, I stamped dots and edged the card in the same ink.
I used Versafine Clair "Twilight", a dark blue ink to stamp the dragonfly, which is also part of the "Dragonfly Dreams" stamp set. I used the same ink to stamp the sentiment, which is party of a 7 piece stamp set, by Chloes Creative Cards, which came free with Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine, Issue 283.I then used three gel glitter pens, a silver, a green colour and blue colour to add sparkle and shimmer to the card surface.
The way you have built up the background is marvellous with the green dots and green inked blended edges and a pretty blue blended to the centre, and finally the darker blue added to the edges, and as extra dots, and glitter gel pen work, and wonderful colour added on the beautiful stamped dragonfly. The result is a terrific card Sam. x
