Soft Thanks

There hasn't been a lot of stamping this month at all, but tonight I have a quick post for you. 

This really might be my favorite current color combination... It's not very autumnal, but the greeting is, so here you go. Today's card uses the sketch from The Paper Players, and these lovely In Colors. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Dragonfly Garden
Ink: Soft Succulent
Paper: Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya & Basic White card stocks
Accessories: Opal Rounds, Soft Succulent open weave ribbon, Timeworn Type embossing folder, Dimensionals, big shot (retired) 

Dragonflies & Texture

I needed a couple birthday cards and couldn't pick a color for the dragonfly, haha, so I ended up making four similar but different cards and two of them became birthday cards! I used the current Freshly Made Sketch for the layout. I used the pack of In Good Taste DP and a variety of patterns, some are the flip side of another. I really like all the "textures" and shades in that DP.

Which color do you like best? I think three are going in the mail tomorrow...! 

Purple Dragonfly

Happy Monday! Today I have the final sneak peek to my card class which is tomorrow!
This card had a totally different direction when I started. I was going to follow a color challenge...but I realized one of the necessary ink colors was already on a different class card... and when I substituted Gorgeous Grape, I dropped one of the colors entirely and now it looks like this! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Dragonfly Garden

Ink: Gray Granite, Gorgeous Grape

Paper: Whisper White, Gray Granite

Accessories: Dragonfly Punch, Gorgeous Grape ribbon, Wink of Stella, Dimensionals

Tho honestly, before that, I made this. But decided it needed to pop off the white base. 

By the way, the Wink of Stella is on the dragonfly wings. It's really pretty in person, and the pen itself kind of blends the ink, making it look slightly watercolored.

What do you think? Which one do you prefer?

Dragonfly Punch

I haven't done much crafting yet this month and I am feeling it! This morning I took a minute to play with my mom's new bundle to make a card I need. This cute stamp set and punch come from the Mini Catalog. I also used a few challenges to make this one- the TGIF Challenge's color combo, the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, and it fits the SUO Challenge theme of things that fly!
I sponged the yellow on the circle the dragonfly is on, to have a softer shade than the card stock. And I thought these shiny epoxy droplets made a fun touch too.

Supplies
Stamps: Dragonfly Garden
Ink: Just Jade, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape 
Paper: Just Jade, Basic White card stocks
Accessories: Flowers For Every Season ribbon, Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets, Dragonflies punch, Circle dies, Dimensionals, Big Shot (retired)

This is going in the mail today! What have you been making? If you haven't mailed a card this week, send one out soon! Let someone know you're thinking of them!
