Engaging Dragonflies
Engaging Dragonflies
Instructions:
White cardstock is the background 12 x 12". Cut black cardstock to 11 x 12". Using an embossing pad, gold embossing powder and the dragonfly stamp from the Decorative Dragonfly Cling Stamp set that has wings that are fairly straight across. I stamped the image 3 times down each side of the black cardstock. Add the gold embossing powder, and heat emboss. Adhere the black cardstock to the white cardstock background in the middle. Add gold gems up the side of the borders you have created.
Mat the piece of black cardstock you trimmed off earlier in white cardstock and adhere up the middle of the layout. Using the Majestic Swirl Frames die, cut the decorative piece from Luxe Gold Cardstock, and the mat for that from black cardstock. Adhere these together. Adhere to the layout using foam tape. Trim the 4 x 6" photo to fit within the framed mat. Mat the photo in white cardstock. Adhere to the frame using foam tape.
Stamp all of the dragonflies onto the vellum flowerite using an embossing pad and white embossing powder. Die cut the stamped images, and then also die cut the same shapes from Luxe Gold Cardstock. Adhere the vellum dragonflies to the gold dragonflies just slightly off-setting them using adhesive dots. Add gems to some of the dragonflies. Adhere the 2 large dragonflies above and below the matted photo. Then add the other dragonflies to either side.
Die cut the title from Luxe Gold cardstock and adhere to the bottom of the layout using a glue pen.
