Since my Mom and Dad met in the fifties I thought her favorite bug would be perfect for this card.
The card is white linen card stock.
I stenciled the dragonflies from Stamplorations “Dragonfly Waltz” using Distress kitsch flamingo, tumbled glass and bundled sage ink.
I also used mint tape to apply the lines of color.
The stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs “Wishing Words” from 2016 was stamped with Memento tuxedo black ink and it will have more words inside of “you the best!” from the same set.
I love your angled design and the stenciling using the colours is lovely. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber this time. Claire DT
