The dragonfly stamp on this card is one of those I had to have, and then when it got here I set it aside, forgot about it, and never used it. Well I saw a challenge that was featuring dragon flies, as well as another that challenged you to use something old, and I thought it would be a good time to put it to use!
My card ended up being for several challenges, but first is my team card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (#384). Here’s the sketch:
The colors for my card I were inspired by the challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare (#408), which is a tic-tac-toe board. I used the third column: toffee – espresso – glacier (which looks rather white in the photo). Other colors are allowed as long as they are on the board, so I also used sapphire.
The dragonfly is from a set by Technique Tuesday, which I heat embossed on vellum.
Anothert challenge I would like to join is at Cut It Up! (# 207). They are asking for you to use something old – stamps, embellishments, anything you haven’t used in a long time (or at all!). Besides the stamp I found those blue pearls I didn’t even know I had! The die cuts I used are the stitched strips, those are brand new from Pretty Pink Posh.
Also the challenge at The Paper Girls (#206) is “emboss like a boss” .
Additional challenges – both have a theme of “Things With Wings:”
Ellibelle’s Corner , and Crafty Cardmakers (#262)

Love the dark embossed Sapphire background and Toffee and Espresso are a nice compliment to it. And the dragonfly against the neutrals is also very pretty… beautiful card. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Dare.
Love your CAS style and the embossed background really adds to the lovely dragonfly topper. Thanks for joining us at Color Dare. X
Great use of that sketch and I just love dragonflies. Great colour choices of the blues and browns. Thanks for joining us at Colour Dare Challenge, I hope you can join us again soon.
