I’ve been playing with the beautiful Falling In Love designer series paper (dsp) lately – we used it in last weeks Stamp-a-Stack and have been itching to use the paper in combination with the new Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the co-ordinating Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits. I thought the lovely soft colours would go well with the ethereal dragonflies.

I chose the pink ‘bokeh’ patterned paper for my first card. I love creating this effect with inks, masks and sponge daubers and have used this technique in a class before…….. might try it again soon. The colours used in the dsp are lovely, Soft Sky, Sweet Sugarplum, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla and Sahara Sand.
I chose a Blushing Bride cardstock base and mounted the dsp onto a panel of Chocolate Chip cardstock before adding it to the card base with Tombow liquid Adhesive. I felt it needed a darker layer to set off the paler colours and Chocolate Chip has a slight pink tone to it.

I wanted to add a bit of WOW to the card so die cut the cute string of small dragonflies using the fabulous Copper Foil Paper which is so shiny, love it. I added the dragonflies to the card from using tiny pieces of dimensionals to lift them up and create shadow. I added the sentiment from the same stamp set using Chocolate Chip ink.
