STAMPIN' UP! DANDY LASER CUT BIRTHDAY CARD

 The Dandy Laser Cut paper, in the January - June Mini Catalogue, contains a variety of laser cut frames and decorative elements.  I have used one of the frames, and three dragonflies, on today's card.  The colour combination on my card is Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink and Night of Navy.  It's a combination suggested by Stampin' Up!, and one that I found quite challenging, but I think it works!

I started by backing one of the laser-cut frames onto a piece of Night of Navy card.  I embossed it with the Dandelions 3D embossing folder, which gives such beautiful detail.  This piece is adhered to papers from the Subtles 6"x6" pack, and Dandy Garden papers.  The card base is Misty Moonlight, and I have added a Night of Navy ornate border to the bottom of the DSP panel.

The sentiment, stamped in Misty Moonlight, is from the Posted For You stamp set.

I used Blending Brushes to colour the three dragonflies, colouring one in Misty Moonlight (that's the one you see in the pic above), one in Petal Pink, and one in Night of Navy.  The bristles of the Blending Brushes are beautifully soft, and it was very easy to colour these delicate laser-cut pieces without scrunching or damaging them.  The Petal Pink dragonfly was looking beautiful, until I turned it over to apply Liquid Glue to the back, and inadvertently laid it on a piece of scrap paper that had remnants of Night of Navy ink on.  So the Petal Pink dragonfly is a bit speckled (I didn't realise until I'd stuck it down, unfortunately) ... at least it co-ordinates with the other elements on the card!
