papercraftisann: Stampin' Up Greetings Thinlints

It's been soooo long!

Wow, sorry, it's been a long, long time since I posted! A few things have happened since then though - like we've moved to the other side of the country... We're now residing in sunny (at least some of the time) Queensland. There is a bit of chaos associated with moving! I've finally stopped procrastinating and am looking for my crafting mojo. I decided to start with a sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch! This is the sketch:

And here is my card. It didn't quite turn out as I'd pictured - I thought the 'brickwork' would stand out a bit more when I stamped the panel (Early Espresso) so I sponged with Crumb Cake which did give slightly more definition. The dragonfly and sentiment are given a bit of sparkle with Wink of Stella - I used the now retired gold but the clear would work just as well. Have I mentioned that I love these dragonfly dies??

I know I'm a little bit slow but I finally bought the Swallowtail stamp after seeing a card made with a while ago IRL. This is also my first attempt at entering a challenge - still haven't linked it yet though! I have used the new Wink of Stella clear glitter pen (available through Stampin' Up from the 5th January 2016) for a subtle sparkle on the wings but you can't really see it in the photos.
