Dazzling Dragonfly and the Modern Border Trim by Jean Okimoto

The new Dazzling Dragonfly pauses on a shimmery gold-stenciled background from the Modern Border Trim set - clean, simple and very easy! Hi - Jean Okimoto here - with a quick design for your busy holiday weekend.

Cut watercolor paper with the the 1-¾" x 3" Rectangle Basics Set die. Press the inks from an Imagine Crafts Caribbean Sea Kaleidacolor inkpad onto a large acrylic stamp block to create a palette. Paint the inks onto the watercolor paper with a flat paintbrush. Dry the inks.

Diecut a stencil of the Modern Border Trim's dotted pattern from The Crafter's Workshop stencil sheet. Create a shimmery background by stenciling Delicata Golden Glitz onto the watercolor paper.

Diecut Dazzling Dragonfly from gold mirror cardstock.

Attach the pieces to a top-folded A-2 card of turquoise cardstock. Add small gold sequins.

Wasn't that easy? If you have a few minutes - diecut and watercolor a bunch of backgrounds for your favorite Memory Box dies. They'll be ready when you need them - and would create the perfect backdrop for butterflies and birds too.

Thanks for stopping by...see you again this evening!
