Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Fauna

It's always a delight to welcome you to another Stampin Sunday Blog with amazing artists from around the world

This month's focus is on 

F A U N A

and I decided to try and use as many different dragonflies I could find.

I stamped some from the Dragonfly Garden suite, and cut some out from the matching papers.

I also stamped the dragonfly twice from the Suite Sampler Host set onto Purple Posy Card and cut it out.  By cutting off a couple of wings and using some dimensionals it made it 3D.

The dragonflies just popped on a background of Granny Apple Green leaves and Petal Pink flowers, with an accent of the Pretty Peacock/Old Olive reversible ribbon (it literally is the colour of dragonflies).

I used the Pierced Blooms Dies and the Lacy Petals Dies

To create added contrast I used a striped pattern from the True Love Designer Series Paper, so versatile and classy.

Using one of the 7.9 x 7.9cm acetate boxes, I then created a belly band and a decorative piece with more leaves, flowers and dragonflies.  I love how all these Stampin' Up! products co-ordinate so beautifully.

Here is a short video of how these projects were put together

{Stamping Florals and Geometricals on a One Sheet Wonder}

I've been having lots of fun over on YouTube doing what is called "lives".  It's been really fun getting to know viewers from all around the world as they're able to comment and ask questions as I stamp.  If you use YouTube please subscribe to my channel, and click the bell button to get notifications on your device of when I go "live".

Here is a long video of a process that took about an hour, I ended up stamping 3 sheets and making 8 cards from them.

 STAMPS USED: First Frost, Painted Glass, Lilypad Lake, Beautiful Friendship, Waterfront (splatters)
 COLOURS USED: Sea Side Spray, Purple Posy, Pretty Peacock, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green, Mint Macaron   

If you haven't got time to watch the long version please watch the shorter version below.

Here are the cards I ended up making.

I thought you might like to see the full sheet before I cut it up.

My usual card size is A6, however because I wanted to show off this stamping I made 2 A5 cards.

Hope you enjoyed looking at these.  If you have been inspired by what you see and would like to share your creations with others then please join my Facebook group Artful Stampin Space here.
