Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges #7 is a Christmas in July theme with the normal optional twist to include a dragonfly. Using Newton’s Nook Designs Retro Sun and Palms stencil, I inked some oranges to yellows using only the sun stencil. The palms were stamped using Newton’s Nook Designs Sun Soaked Christmas stamp set. After coloring my palms, presents and stockings, I decided to add some sand. I think the beach bully must have come around and kicked up my sand so I added the sentiment to “smooth” things out a little more. Dragonflies are from Gina K Designs Follow Your Dreams stamp set illustrated by Theresa Momber. After stamping, I added some glitter silver Wink of Stella. The focal panel was die cut from a Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle die.
Thanks so much for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Stay cool, take care and be safe.

Wow – this is a stunning card. The sun is amazing and then adding the tropical elements creates the perfect scene. Love how you incorporated the dragonflies too.
Thanks, Johanna, it’s really a great stencil. The second stencil has the palm trees.

Nicely done! Love that sun behind your beach scene.
Very pretty. That sun looks amazing. Clever way to “smooth” out the sand.
Thanks, Gerry, I was glad I was able to cover up some of my sand with the sentiiment.
