"Don't Bug Me" at Double D... a Dragonfly

"Don't Bug Me" is the challenge at Double D.  My favorite "bug" is always the dragonfly. For this card, I chose the square image from Stampers Anonymous and decided to "glitz" it up.  First, I stamped in black India ink, heat-embossed it with clear EP and then sprinkled two colors of Lindy's Gang Magical Shakers on the image.  Lots of water allowed the colors to move across the image as I applied heat.  Once that was dry, I spritzed the piece with Imagine Crafts' "Sheer Shimmer Spray." Continuing with the "glitz," I cut pieces of silver glitter cardstock from Crafter's Companion Luxury Cardstock pack to layer onto the dry-embossed blue piece and under it.   It shines!

Take Flight with Less is More

I have a drawer full of dragonfly and butterfly stamps, and they remain among my favorites for stamped images.  For this week's Less is More, I chose the large dragonfly from I Brake for Stamps and the sentiment  from Stampotique.  I heat-embossed the dragonfly, cut it out, and then painted with watercolors and Distress Oxides. When that was dry, I spritzed it with Glimmer Mist Iridescent Gold and popped it up on adhesive squares.
