Nature's Dragonfly Cards

I look forward to each new CASology challenge because I can't wait to find out the word prompt.  :)  A new challenge went up today and the word is "dragonfly."  I know I have a few dragonfly stamps and even managed to find one of them this morning.  ;)  I ended up using it on the envelopes for these cards.  It was from a Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook set (an older set but I did see it on Ebay still if you want to see it.  I also found it here.) There are a couple of nice nature themed sentiments with the set.  After looking through my Silhouette Cameo designs of ones I owned, I found I had a beautiful dragonfly design.  Yay!  :)  It can be found in the Silhouette Design Store (#9270 Dragonfly and Butterfly by Sweet Afton).  I keep a little basket of backgrounds I have created from Color Bursts, watercolor backgrounds, ink pad and acetate backgrounds, etc., etc.  I found two which I thought would make pretty dragonflies.  I glued each to a white card panel and stamped the sentiment below the die cut.  I adhered a few sequins (and tiny jewels on one) and BAM....fast and easy!  Or maybe I should say clean and simple.  ;)  I keep trying to decide which is my favorite but keep changing my mind.....so I'll declare it a tie between the two.  ;)  These dragonflies will be flitting (because you know dragonflies "flit") about at:






I'm heading out to the pool.  This might be the last hot enough day for swimming in September.  It certainly is hot enough  (97 degree and heat index much higher).  AND if I'm lucky, I will see some dragonflies.  ;)  Thanks for visiting and remember to stay crafty!  :)
