It's the last day of sneak peeks for the May My Creative Time Release! Is your shopping list growing? There are three more new sets being showcased today, and I used one of them on my card: the Pretty Butterflies & Dragonfly Dies! You are going to love these!
To make my card I used a technique that I learned in Online Card Classes' Watercolor for Card Makers, in which I made score lines on watercolor paper with my Scor-Pal and then used distress inks and water to get the cool background.
I made this dragonfly with one of the new dies. Isn't it beautiful with the little dot embossing? I inked it up with some distress inks to match it to my background. The doilies were cut from tissues paper with the MCT Stitched Doily Die.
I used Stazon Ink to stamp my sentiment, from MCT's Many Greetings Stamp Set, on a hand-cut vellum banner. A few scattered Melissa Frances pearls finished off the card!
