Dragonfly days with Visible Image

Happy summer! Yes we have enjoyed our longest day too and the long summers days loom ahead. I live very near the River Wandle as it winds its way back up to London and I delight in my walks along it.

As I walked along yesterday I saw a flash of colour in the undergrowth

I only had my phone with me (very unusal for me!) but I managed to snap a very summery visitor, a shimmery dragonfly.

This leads in perfectly to my fortnightly design team post today for Visible Image and I am sharing another sample I made using the brand new stamp release which can be pre ordered now here. The release  date is just a week away now on 26th June.

I made a summery card using the lovely dragonfly from the 

summer wings set

I decided to get out my alcohol inks and made a summery background

I cut it down for a 7X5" card

I stamped all the images onto acetate which I had also added alcohol ink to (I will use the butterflies for another project). 

I also gold embossed some of them (sorry no photos!) I decided to use just the wings of the gold embossed acetate dragonfly and gold embossed another on some inky mop up card. I used the 2 together to make a really statement dragonfly.

This was just right for my alcohol ink background.
I also decided to use one of the fab sentiments from the new
Equality, hope and Love stamp set

Here is my finished card.

with some close ups

and one last shot

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

Simon says stamp Monday Sprays and splashes
A bit more time to craft 3/3 anything goes
Through the craft room door anything goes
crafty sentiments 2/3 anything goes
Crafty catz 1/3 anything goes
As you like it 1/3 digi or rubber mine is rubber (or clear in this case) every single time! You cannot stamp on acetate or indeed anything with digits. They limit my creativity.
Cute card Thursday 1/3 summer
Simon says stamp Wednesday summer fun
