Wildflowers and grasses from Gelatins stamped on cream cardstock. The dragonfly image from innovativestampcreations.com had a foot hanging off one of the flowers so I drew in some extra grass with a brown Sharpie marker to give him some added support. The grasses are stamped in Versa Magic Gingerbread and Pearlescent Biege and the dragonfly with Perfect Plumeria. Some of the weeds have added shading with a copper Copic marker. I then sponged all around the cream cardstock with the Gingerbread and Beige. The sentiment from Paperbag Studios is stamped in Memories Artprint Brown. I used a Sakura star dust pen to add sparkle to the dragonfly and the dandelions. Distressed edges, Prima flowers, and a touch of lace finished it off. All cardstock is from Die Cuts With a View and Bazzill. Also I spritzed the entire cream colored panel with Tattered Angels Vanilla Breeze Glimmer Mist.

Fantastic card. I too wondered about the Gelatins stamps, love the grasses.

FYI- Gelatins is the stamp company that makes the wildflower/grass stamps that I used. They come in a little tin and you can find them at www.allthatscraps.com
