Sweet Sunday Dragonfly

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC116.

There are so many possibilities with this sketch, from cards to scrapbook pages, it's a fabulous layout. Since today is Mother's Day I decided to make a card for my Mom.

Really Karen? A bug? Is that the best representation of how you feel about your Mom??? I know you're probably thinking all this BUT it totally makes sense. See, my mom looooooooves dragonflies. She has several dragonfly brooches and sometimes wears one on her shoulder so it looks like it just landed there. Every summer at the cottage we're lucky enough to watch the dragonfly nymphs transform into beautiful helicopters (that's what we affectionately call them) and they'll sit on your finger while they wait for their wings to dry out before they fly away. So does the card make sense now? LOL!!!

The dragonfly image is from Discover Your Wings and the sentiment is from Fresh Flowers, both part of the Whimsical Wishes line from Taylored Expressions. I stamped the dragonfly with Memento Tuxedo Black then cut him out and adhered him with foam tape to the cream panel, which I cut with my wonky rectangle Nestabilities. The patterned papers are from the Lily Bee Stationery collection. I used my large scallop border die on the purple polka dot paper and added some texture to the solid purple layer with my hearts impression plate.

I hope you'll play along this week and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.
