Make My Monday Week 34 and Forgotten Friday week 46

The people over at Make My Monday are on the last week of the nature challenge and this one is dragonflies and/or butterflies.  I've taken a piece of backing paper from a pad which I've had for ages and as often happens the cover is lost so no idea of the source.  I overstamped this with a couple of stamps from The Stamp Bug (Dragonfly Dreams) which I've had since 2008 and I very much doubt they've been used since then so this card should also be fine for Judith's Forgotten Friday challenge as well. The main image from the same set was stamped onto some card which had been swiped over wet dye inks on a craft mat and another scrap of this was used for the words too with a bit of extra colour brushed over while still in the die. I simply added a dragonfly charm,some ribbon and a bit of bling to finish off this card.  It is well worth taking a look at both the links above to see some beautiful work.

    This is a gorgeous card Val. I just love dragonflies, as much as butterflies, so you have won me over here. The colours are lovely. The main section is brilliant, with the torn edges which are a really clever touch. The shape, echoing that of the dragonfly gives it a natural feel.

    Thanks for joining in FF this week, Judith xx

    Beautiful colours you've used here Val. I love that combination and it makes me believe Spring is not too far away. That looks as though it's a really lovely set of stamps and I especially like the main dragonfly image.

    A gorgeous card Val, with beautiful colours. It's lovely to see a dragonfly, they are every bit as lovely as butterflies.

    the main dragonfly image is utterly intriguing & I love the torn edging & how sensuous it looks. Your dragonfly''s body really shimmers & flashes those sparkly dashes that they do in real life. Lovely touch that.
