Its barely spring and its getting quite warm here ... although we're supposed to get a "cold front" this week (it will probably drop down to 70!). This card features the Cotton Scraps from Crafty Secrets in the Summer series. They are screen printed vintage designs, in a variety of themes, printed on cotton fabric. You just cut them apart and embellish your card! I loved the touch of teal with the dragonfly, I think it really makes the softer colors *pop*!
The details, the base is Bashful Blue, the cuttlebugged layer is certainly celery and its matted on Taken with Teal (all Cardstock from Stampin' Up!). There is a little scrap of ribbon (from a local craft store) and the whole thing is accented with Copper shiny brads. Copper is probably my most fav of all the metals - I just love it, especially with deeper colors!
We had a pool growing up (in Wisconsin that's a bit of a treat since you can only use it during the summer months!). But ... dragonflies used to terrorize me! I'd be in the pool, enjoying the cool weather and there they would come, hovering around you. Actually, they were quite harmless and beautiful in the jewel tones, the twinkling irridescent blue green wings!
