Dragonfly Frenzy

The cards and tag were shown on Create and Craft when I sent an email into them. I put in the email that tonic dies are 'no FAFF' dies but Dave the presenter said 'no NAFF' lol. I did email them again to correct it but they didn't read it out so I went on the FB tonic page and explained what had happened because NAFF means rubbish!!!

I'm so in love with the dragonfly die, it's a really good size and cuts like a dream every time.

Top card -

I used - Tonic Studios - Strip die beautiful buckle, Rococo  

Dragonfly die, Just for you pansy topper, Nuvo Crystal drops.

Middle card -

 I tried to do a technique called shutter or flip card. I can't find the video on You Tube but when I do I will add the link to it.

When you have watched the video or know what a shutter/flip card looks like you will notice that mine is different!

This is because I got muddled up with my cutting edge but I liked the outcome so I carried on making the card.

I used the embossing folder and then blended distress inks to achieve a leave colour.

With the dragonfly I heat embossed the wings.

Added leaves and butterflies.

The inside I used the dies, stamped MUM and added the drops

I used;

Tonic Studios - Rococo  Dragonfly die, Royal fern, Deco trellis base, Nuvo Crystal drops.

Crafters Companion - leaf textures embossing folder.

Sue Wilson - finishing touches dies - magical butterflies.

Tag -

I entered this in the wow embossing powders monthly challenge. I have written a more in depth post on how I made it.

I used;

WOW embossing powders.

Tonic Studios - Entwining trellis dies, Avante drawer deco, Rococo Dragonfly die.

Please feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear from you. Especially if you have tried a technique but done it wrong.
