Roberta is our hostess this week and she has chosen cherry cobbler, tangelo twist, old olive and for dessert: ribbon or twine. I passed on dessert this week.
Cut a panel approximately the size of the dragonfly frame die, sponged the 3 colors, then splattered some white acrylic paint. Adhered this to the dragaonfly frame and matted with cherry cs. Die cut 2 strips of the border die, sponged with the challenge colors, and attached to card front. Stamped the sentiment, attached the dragonfly panel to the card front and done. LOVE this new die!
Come join us, you may be chosen to be a Guest Designer!

So glad I popped into the Gallery just now - I wouldn't have wanted to miss this beauty. LOVE the white dragonfly against those beautifully sponged BG. Faved!

Stunning! Just stunning! I love everything about this card--especially the way the strips change color. Your background is perfect behind the dragonfly!

Oh my goodness! What a perfectly beautiful transition of these colors! The little spatters on the background are fantastic to give it even more interest. And this is one cool die cut! Love everything about this card!!!
