Beautiful Dragonflies

Hello Stampers~

I hope you've enjoyed the long weekend if you live in America. :)  I am so very thankful for the men and women who serve our country while we sit home enjoying our freedoms!  May God bless each and everyone of them! :)

My oldest son turned 22 today....yikes!  Where on earth does the time go?!

My card is made with the Dragonfly Vine cling stamp from Stampendous.  This is such a beautiful image that it needs very little hooplah to introduce it.  I chose to emboss the image in white (could have also used clear) on white cardstock.  I then sponged on some Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass & Shabby Shutters Distress Inks.  It's such an easy technique, but really gives a wow effect, don't you think?

The sentiment on the card is from JustRite's Just Because Mini Sentiments stamp set.  I love it when I find a set that has lots of small sentiments, and this one has some really great ones! 

I added some touches of black to really make it pop.  My favorite part is the sweet little dragonfly charm hanging from the bow.  That came from the Butterfly Garden Metal Charms pack from Pink Paislee, and was actually a brass metal color until I got ahold of it with my C9 Copic marker. {grin}  I do so love to color things with those markers!  Here's a close-up for you:

 That's all from me today, friends!  Thanks so very much for stopping by today!

Hugs,
~Cindy

All of your cards are gorgeous! You have such talent and a real eye for colour combinations. Wish you could share a little of that talent.
