Hello bloggers! I have a lovely autumnal Stamped card to share with you today. I started by stamping the
Eliza's Dragonfly Daisy STDF in black Archival ink and cutting it out with the matching die. I used
Distress Markers to colour it. I inked and stamped just the dragonfly part a second time and cut it out by hand and coloured it. I used a dab of
Stellar Ice Luna paste on my finger to add an iridescence to the wings then glued it in top of the original. I used a milk card backing and cut a couple of
Double Stitched Squares to seat the stamped image on. I then created a larger multi layered frame using the same set with a wider milk mat and a thinner
Chestnut Brown card frame layer. I cut the
For You shadowed sentiment in chestnut brown and glued it in the open area on the focal element. Milk and brown mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue. I love how you've surrounded the main focal point with the frames, and your new collection of stamps are gorgeous, not a lover of dragonflies both in the insect world or craft world but I know a lot of people love them, but I'm loving everything I see before me xxx
Stunning

Stunning card this morning and beautifully coloured with the Distress markers . This would be a great design for a mans card with this choice of colour. I love how you have framed the card with the double stitched square dies.

Beautiful card Sue. I love it when you use your matching stamps and this one is gorgeous. I wouldn’t have thought about putting the Luna paste on the dragonfly wings but it is perfect.

Stunning card Sue. Really love the dragonfly, anything of nature gets my vote. I do like frames on cards as well, sets them apart, makes them look very expensive.

Good morning Sue,
A beautiful autumnal card. X
Hello Sue,
A real Autumnal feel to this card. I absolutely love the STDF that match your dies. It gives a totally feel to your card when you use them. Very clever to use the Luna paste to give an iridescent look to the dragonfly's wings.
Have a great day.

Hugs Helen xx
Hi Sue this is a stunning card I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue, this lovely card certainly has an autumnal feel to it. I love the composition and the STDF with your excellent colouring. Eliza's outer cutting die has an unusual shape that lifts the focal point so much more than a plain circle, love it.
Frances
Hi Sue, What a lovely stamp and I love what you have done to make the dragonfly wings look iridescent.
Lisbeth
Pretty post and love the stamp

Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Lovely dragonfly stamped image and I love the whole composition. Would look lovely as a framed picture.
A beautiful card I love dragonflies with their beautiful iridescent wings which you’ve captured beautifully
Now I have a stamping platform I may start investing in some STDF
Sorry, this card doesn’t do it for me but I can see how others would like it.

Your matching stamps change the look of dies so much, add a different dimension to cards...beautiful work....luv Ursula xx
This is a great stamp, adding value to the die set. I hope Tim appreciates how well you show of his Distress markers too.
Very pretty card for either a guy or gal.

Love this!
What a lovely, restful looking card this is. I just love dragonflies (& would love you to do a square dragonfly frame like your butterfly frame) & I particularly like the way you have highlighted the wings, they do look iridescent. Thank you Sue.
Good Afternoon Sue. Lovely card just fine for the men in my minds eye.... loving the Dragon fly die. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
I love this card and the colour is quite a departure from your usual cards. I am liking this slightly grungier look.
Nice scene design and I adore dragonflies. Nice that you used Luna paste on the dragonfly's wings. Please consider Luna paste for HSN shows. I don't have any Luna paste and I NEED some!
Lovely card Sue, but autumn I want spring first(hehehe)!
So beautiful!
Lovely stamp, and that dragonfly is adorable :))
Fabulous card and I love the colour palette. X
Lovely card Sue. Would make a brilliant male card. Thank you.
Love this card.

Hi Sue. Ooooh I really do love this card !!! The colours you have used are beautiful. The Daisy Dragonfly STDF is fab !!! I am loving your colouring in techniques. The image really looks like it is popping out of the card and the Dragonfly is fantastic !!! A lovely autumnal kind of card. Natural colours and green shades are my favourite colour combos.
