GD Crafting with Dragonflies



Hi again!! Here is the card I made as a guest designer for Crafting with Dragonflies. I am very happy to be a guest designer for them! Very friendly and supportive they are! As a beginner card maker I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with challenge blogs. The challenge for the next two weeks there is using your scraps (5 designer papers).  So pull out your papers and get crafting! I made this fall/school themed card with papers from my stash.  I used Bookish Tia for my digi stamp from Some Odd Girl.  I love her stamps.  Very fun to color. I used a metal sticker for my sentiment.  Clear pearls were use around the image.  I matted each layer of designer paper with card stock.  I was told that it helps make each piece pop and I must say that person is correct! It is a technique I need to use more often.  I hope you enjoy this card!

    Gosh, 5 backing papers - that's some challenge but you have achieved such a great result Erin. How very brave of you to use such bold papers with such aplomb and your matting of them is brilliant. I love the 'ruler' paper - perfect for bringing your school days theme together. Your image is lovely too. Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)

    Erin, I know I commented, with admiration, on this particular card entered in the OSAAT challenge but as you have just joined the OSAAT Design Team I have taken the liberty of exploring other cards that you have created, and wow, are you going to inspire. You have such courage in the colours you work with and, skeaking at one who eres on the side of caution I so admire your skills. Can't wait to see your inspiration on our challenge blog and I hope you will have a very happy time on the DT. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
