Clean and Simple Dragonfly

Creative Knockouts Challenge time and our theme is CAS (Clean and Simple).  What does that mean? It means lots of open space, limited layers & embellies and keep it simple.

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Fabrika Fantasy and the winner will receive a special prize.  

The image I selected is Summer Duckling however I didn't use the entire stamp, I chose to use just the dragonfly.  

I added a splash of distress inks in the corner of the cardstock then colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut around the image.  I applied pop-up dots on the back of the dragonfly, added sequins and bakers twine, stamped a simple sentiment in the corner - my CAS creation, quick and easy.

I hope you join us for our CAS challenge and I look forward to seeing your creation.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sparkle and Shine at Creative Knockouts

Challenge time over at Creative Knockouts and our theme is "Sparkle and Shine"!

Our sponsor for this challenge is Fred, She Said Designs and the lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to spend in their store!


I chose to work with Dragonfly Flower Doodledallion SET for this challenge.  You have to check this set out!  Along with the digi stamps, you get the colored version as well as different flower designs and sentiments.

I know it doesn't look like it but there is some sparkle and shine on my card, you just have to look closely!  I used clear sparkle embossing power on the blue flower petals and the dragonfly and pulled out my spica pen to trace around the leaves.  Glossy accents was used on the dragonfly for the shine and to top off the sparkle I added clear sparkly background paper.
