For Two challenges

Hopefully I'm catching up with myself a bit but only because I was awake soon after four this morning with no chance of getting back to sleep so I decided to get up, have breakfast and then into the craft room.  Mind you it feels like almost lunch time now (or at least elevenses!!).  I think I'm in time for the Make My Monday challenge which is to use the complimentary colours of  PURPLE AND YELLOW  and because I've used an embossing folder which has lain unused for such a long time and a small dragonfly X-cut punch equally neglected I am putting this card in for Judith's Forgotten Friday challenge as well. Background paper was a piece from my scrap box and of course the die cuts and punched elements used more scraps.  Embossing folder is from Cuttlebug, as is the word die, the large dragonfly was cut with a Sizzix die and Memory Box Tessatina die for a border.. The yellow card is from Coredinations whitewash range and has been sanded and inked with Lemonade Distress ink to bring out the colour.

I'm off now for early elevenses!!

    This is beautiful Val, the purple and yellow go so well together. I love the embossing folder you've used, and with the lemon DI it looks so fresh and summery.

    This is a lovely card Val, a great colour combo. I have that same embossing folder, much neglected, which I loved when I bought it. I must dig it out! I love dragonflies almost as much as butterflies, they look lovely on their background here. Thanks so much for joining in my Forgotten Friday post, Judith xx

    That's a lovely use of the Tessatina border & I love the way you've used textured cardstock for the embossed panel - the inking really shows up the linen weave beautifully. The gems really catch the purple tones with their iridescence.
    Hope you have a better night.

    I love the effect of the embossing and how you have used the two strong colours in a more subtle card, very striking. Thanks,again, for sharing with us at Make My Monday. Caz
