Garden Bugs- Daring Cardmakers challenge.

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

We have a brand new challenge for you this week and its all about:

GARDEN BUGS

This weeks challenge is set by DT member Shabneez and she would like to see which garden bugs visit your garden during this time of year. 

I don't have a garden as such but I do have plant pots with lots of flowers and herbs and I get some bug visits occasionally but none that I am friends with as they always give me the heebie-jeebies. On the other hand I do love butterflies, dragonflies and ladybirds, so I decided to choose one of my favourites for this challenge.

For my card this week I have used stamps by Daisy B Stamps (Botanical Dragonflies). I used the smaller dragonfly to create a background using Versafine Claire ink pads in Warm Breeze and Verdant. I then stamped the larger dragonfly using the same ink pads. I used the lighter colour on the wings and the darker one for the body. I then used metallic watercolour paints to colour in some of the wings and the main body. 

To make the background look subtle I used some vellum around the front. Then I mounted it on to some glitter card and my base card. Once that was in place, I cut out the larger dragonfly and positioned that on top of the vellum. Finally, I added a sentiment and added some final touches of shimmer.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you all a very happy weekend. Check out all the inspiration from the DT over on the Daring Cardmakers blog;
