Dragonfly Wishes

 Today's card started with gifts from a friend!

I received these beautiful dragonflies tucked into a Birthday card sent to me over a month ago, and I unfortunately hadn't used them until today.  An embossed panel, a pretty die cut piece of vellum, with a matching small die cut panel in silver glitter, all as a pretty base.  I think took my 3 large dragonflies and ink blended with a few colors and glued everything together with a pre-foiled sentiment ephemera.  

Then, a spark hit to go in a different direction, but I had already used my dragonflies - gasp!  Not to worry, as soon as I received these beauties, I found the die and it fell into my basket.  Then came this card ~

Ahhh, I like the glittery frame even better, but I realized that these dragonflies were smaller and the wing details different -- urgh!  A different embossed base, a pretty glitter frame, a heat embossed sentiment and ta-da!  Here's a photo of the two different dragonflies ~

However, with this picture I realized that the second card looked a little bare so I decided to go white-on-white with some pretty blooms.  Once finished, this one went to my daughter for her 40th Birthday party!  Here's a fresh look ~

Better?  I think so!  This one will also go to NBUS #91.
