  This was SO MUCH FUN if I do say so myself!  

 
Today, I'm your hostess for the Crafty Secrets Challenge over on SCS and after tossing several ideas around in my head I came up with the idea to USE ONLY ONE STAMP SET for your creation ... background paper, main image & sentiment.

Here is what I came up with using the Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamp Set SM32 - Poppy.  (I know poppies aren't blue but dragon flies are and that's where it all began!)  I used the dragon fly in the set to create my background paper ... stamped/embossed and colored my poppies with Prismacolor markers ... stamped the sentiment and cut it out to add over the ribbon panel ... the completion of the sentiment is in the lower right corner.  As you can see in my close up of the dragonfly ... I stamped it again separately, cut it out and popped it up for dimension.  I also added a strip of the paper to the back flap of the envelope to coordinate the two.  I am SO PLEASED with how this came out ... I'll be doing this little trick again soon!!


Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a GREAT week!
