The following card was created for the Mod Squad Fly Away challenge.
I used two Gina K Designs stamp sets in completing this card. The dragonfly is from Theresa Momber’s The Wetlands 2 and the frame is from Melanie Muenchinger’s Fabulous Rose Frame. I followed an idea from Melanie’s blog and YouTube channel. I used my Misti, forgetting to stamp two frames before removing my stamp. I tried lining the stamps up, and was close but not perfect. This is a live and learn process and decided it would work and I could send it. I added a dragonfly to give a bit more dimension to the wings. I enjoyed making the card and my husband likes it.
Beautiful, Lisa! Love the layout!
Thank you Jan!
Awesome card. Your layers really turned out great. I like how the frame works with the dragonfly.
Thanks Judy! That is a Melanie idea straight from her blog.
Pretty, Lisa. Love the texture embossing on your card and layers for your dragonfly.
Thanks Gayle! I struggle leaving a card with no texture, so I added the Woven Embossing Folder for texture and liked it. Good thing as I think this might be the last piece of powder blue cardstock.
Beautiful card!
Thank you, Diana! This was a very different card for me.
This looks awesome! Love how you used the frame stamp, and how you layered your dragonfly to add dimension. Great texture on your base as well.
Thank you, Lisa. It was a different kind of card for me to make, but it was enjoyable.
Your texture on the blue layer created the perfect backdrop for that 3D dragonfly. Such a great guy birthday but could work for just about any sentiment.
Thanks! I think that is why my husband liked it. He wasn’t sure about adding the black gems in the center, but it needed something and one wasn’t enough, so I went with three. Then the analyzer in him started in about a dragonfly having three body parts, so three gems works fine. (roll eyes)
So very pretty. And I agree with everything Bonnie said.
Thanks Gerry! I appreciate you stopping by and commenting. You make great cards and your comments are always appreciated.
This is beautiful I am so partial to dragonflies, and you have used that image perfectly here. Love the cattails and the embossed background. Perfect!!!! Great take on the challenge, thank you so much for participating with us over at the Mod Squad!!

Thank you Judy! Love the theme and the dragonflies seemed to call me this time.
Lisa this is a great card! I love the fun texture on the blue and then the vellum wings for the dragonfly are amazing. It really is a great card for anyone at any time. Even though you followed what someone else did, you did it and you made it yours.
Thanks! It was fun to create.
This is a beautiful card Lisa. The layers are wonderful and how you added dimension with the dragonfly is great too. That stamp set is lovely and I am glad I have it in my stash.
Thanks!
