Polly is our host for the MMTPT535 Connections challenge. I made two cards, both using Polly's challenge extra of embossing.
For this one I dry-embossed a frame and heat-embossed my dragonfly before colouring it with Twinkling H2Os. I use a recent gel print for the background. I'll get both these cards mailed off tomorrow. (replaced with better lit photo)

Love the gel print BG. I have a gel plate and totally need to use it again. I have only used it once since I got it and love all the fun cards I see made with the gel plate. This is gorgeous.

This is such a beautiful card Sabrina. Dragonflies are much like butterflies in they signify transformation and hope for better things. This dragonfly is especially pretty with the heat embossing you did and the twinkling H2Os on the wings. I love your gel-print bg that highlights this lovely dragonfly. The sparkly gold frame and sentiment give this lovely card that wonderful touch of elegance I love so much! This beauty will truly be appreciated by the recipient. ~Karen.

I know you shy away from CAS style and I don't know why. This is perfect! That background and your gold really make that wonderful dragon fly look real! Awesome, Sabrina.
