Here is super simple card you can make in 10 minutes that was inspired by the colored dragonflies on a piece of patterned paper in the new Gina K. Designs Spring Parade pack. I stamped them in Gina K. Ocean Mist, Red Hot and Honey Mustard (stamped off shade) I also traced around the dotted line of the biggest image with a black marker to make that detail stand out. Add dimension by layering the largest ones by stamping it again and cutting out just the wings, folding and popping them up with a foam square. I added two silver nail heads to the top and body and accent wings with Stickles or a glitter pen. Draw a simple dotted trial with a black pen.
And here is the card I shared on the CardMaker blog last week using the mini Blossom set in this kit.
These four mini sets are just adorable!
I love love this paper!!
