Yours truly is hosting the Color Throwdown challenge this week and I was inspired by the pillow to use pink, teal and gray. I made the tartan plaid background by using a 5 step stencil and some oxide inks: Spun Sugar, Salvaged Patina and Hickory Smoke on Bristol Smooth Surface paper. I die cut the dragonfly sections then color blended with the help of a coordinating stencil. I applied foam dots near the base of the wings so I could bend the wings slightly to have them pop off the card. I cut two hello dies from Hawaiian shore paper and adhered them to the white shadow background. Hello cards are so versatile and easy to send for a variety of occasions!
