Working from a point of inspiration

So when I am inspired and enjoy a particular result or technique I like to repeat it in a different way to either perfect it or make it my own. Todays card is moving on from the cards I shared yesterday with were inspired by Liane’s tree card.

At the same time as die cutting the trees for the cards yesterday I also die cut these dragonflies from the same inked paper I had created.

So clearly the inspiration of the original card is still evident but the orientation had changed, the dragonflies are also more haphazard in the way I have added them to the card and also I added lots of inky splatters in the background using the same inks as I used to create the blended paper.

I still added the clear gems and the sentiment using black cardstock with white embossing.

Whilst I loved the tree cards I really loved this dragonfly card more … think I just loved the whimsy and the shine.

I will say I was glad to pack the glimmer paper away though … I really don’t enjoy working with glitter like this … even though it’s reasonable quality it still sheds loads so I ended up both covered with tiny pieces that came out of the die cuts and the glitter! The cards all looked super sparkly though so maybe worth putting up with the mess!

Happy crafting

Catherine

PS Thank you Liane
