Serene Dragonfly

 I was inspired by a fun technique of stencil embossing for the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge this month and Cardz 4 Guyz - Thinking of You.






I made the brick stencil by die cutting some clear plastic with a die from Marianne Designs.  Sponged Versamark through my stencil and heat embossed with Stampendous Aged Spice ep on kraft.  Stamped the dragonfly by Sheena - Crafter's Companion with Versamark and heat embossed with black ep on vellum, colored with Touch Twin markers on the back side and fussy cut.  Added the sentiment from Hero Arts.  Matted on some Gina K green cardstock and onto a Gina K purple card base.

Thanks for taking a closer look!
