TODAY, IT’S A LITTLE LATTICE AND DRAGONFLIES

Yesterday I shared a card that featured layered lattice and lots of bumblebees.

Today, I have revisited the layered lattice construction and added dragonflies.

For this card I used a Basic white card base. Then I took lots of the Lattice Paper pieces and cut several of them before I started adhering the layers to create the constructed shapes.

Trimming before adhering.

The lattice layers were then adhered to a piece of Soft Succulent card stock. This was then added to the card front.

For the dragonflies, I used Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder to heat emboss the dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set onto White Vellum Paper. Then I added colour to the other side of the vellum using the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends and the dark Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blend. The colours were integrated by spritzing the Blends with isopropyl alcohol.

When the ink was dry, I used the Dragonfly Punch to punch out the large and small dragonflies. They were then placed on the lattice using Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment, from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set, was stamped in Soft Succulent ink. I trimmed it down and attached it to the card front.

The multi-loop bow was made using a length of Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon that was cut in half and looped several times before being tightly tied in the centre. The bow was secured in place with Mini Glue Dots.

The image with lots of little dragonflies was stamped inside the card and on the envelope.

I thought the shimmer from the clear embossing powder was enough ‘bling’ for this card. What do you think?

I have enjoyed using the lattice to construct the multilevel elements on this and yesterday’s card. It was a totally different way to use this embellishment.

Tomorrow I will have something different to share.

Until next time, happy stamping.
