STAMPlorations CAS Anything Goes Card Challenge: Optional color twist Cerulean Blue

Time for STAMPlorations CAS Anything Goes Card Challenge: Optional
Color Twist: Cerulean Blue.  Here is the link to the challenge!


You will love the gorgeous cards by the CAS DT.  
I used Cobalt Blue for a shade close to Cerulean Blue.



Close up of pretty Wink of Stella Glitter and shine from heat embossing.


Isn't this the most beautiful shade of blue?  
I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors #62 "Cobalt" to make a smooshed
watercolor background on Strathmore Mixed Media paper.
When dry I splattered with a less diluted shade of the Cobalt.

Next I die cut the solid dragonfly using the Dragonfly Layered Dies Set out of
my pretty blue background.  Then Die Cut SU Black CS with the lined Dragonfly
Layered Die.

The two small dragonflies were from the "Winged Things" stamp set.  
I stamped them on the blue background with Versafine black ink and heat embossed
with SU Clear EB powder and fussy cut.

Set all the dragonflies aside and splattered the die cut card front with same Cobalt paint.

I attached all the dragonflies with SU Mini dimensionals and their tails with liquid glue.
Stamped the Birds of Paradise sentiment with Versafine black ink and heat embossed.

Attached and popped up card front with fun foam and Done!
I loved the bright colored dragonflies and fun sentiment.
I will be using for a get well card:-)

Enjoy and hope you get to play along.  The challenge ends the last day of the month.

Hugs..

  13. I love this beautiful dragonfly card, Nancy! It has a great texture and dimension. The blue of the dragonflies looks fabulous, especially with the sparkle of Wink of Stella and the shine of black heat-embossed outlines. The Cobalt spatters in the background add so much interest. Above all, the way you arranged the 3 dragonflies (size, order, orientation) contributes to the fabulous design!
