Hey Peaches! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I had quite a busy weekend full of family fun and memories. Today I decided to participate for the first time in The Global Design Project #GDP083 theme challenge. This weeks theme is "sparkles/bling".
If you're interested in participating in this challenge, click the link above for the details!
My project for the theme challenge is loaded with bling. To be honest, I'm pretty sure there can never be enough bling on my card, lol! I chose the gorgeous "Dragonfly Dreams" set for my project. I first heat embossed some gold on to the background, using one the beautiful stamps from this set. Then I watercolored a background, using Elegant Eggplant and Melon Mambo inks, with an aqua painter. The key with this technique is to start light and keep adding layers of color until you are happy with the results. Next, I added a small layer of velum to one side of the card and added some Elegant Eggplant bakers twine. I also die cut some dragonflies, using the coordinating thinlits and added some gold metallic twine behind them. I gold heat embossed my sentiment and added some gold glimmer paper for an accent and finished it off by adding some gold metallic enamel dots to the background. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you've enjoyed my take on this weeks theme!

Lauren, this is such a stunning card! So many elements to love ... the watercolour background is beautiful, and the metallic gold thread behind the glittery spray of dragonflies gives a great feeling of movement. We love it! Welcome to the Global Design Project challenges, and thank you for playing along with the theme challenge this week. We hope to see you again!
