I saw this technique on a card on Facebook with the link and had to give it a try. Here is the link for the technique: http://stampwithtami.com/blog/2017/01/dragonfly-dreams/ You have to scroll down for the video showing the technique.
I love how my card turned out. It is an anniversary card for a special couple at church.
I used the same cs - Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum as in the tutorial, but I scored every 1/2 inch instead of 3/4 inch. I used Heartfelt Creations Botanical Roses for the flower and leaves. I used the 3 largest flowers and inked the petal edges with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant and then shaped them with a large stylus. The leaves were inked with Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive. The sentiment from Inspired By Stamping Vintage Frames and the frame from SU Rose Wonder were embossed in gold on gold foil paper, and then die cut with the frame from SU Rose Garden Thinlits dies. The frame is mounted with foam tape. I used Ranger Gold Stickles at each intersection of the score lines.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
