I cut out this card base from A Child's Year Cricut cartridge. I layered a gem cut from Once Upon a Princess in the card to make it a window cut with my Gypsy.
I cut the dragonfly image from Gypsy Wanderings in the shadow feature and twice in the base feature. I cut out the dragonfly border too.
Here you can see by cutting out the dragonfly twice I have layered it to give a lot of dimension. I also layered a gem from Once Upon a Princess to frame the window.
I used the negative part of the dragonfly border to make these stencil images. I stenciled with Distress Ink to give this plain cardstock a pattern.
Inside the card I created another stencil with the gem frame. I laid the frame around the dragonfly gem and inked with more Distress Ink. When you remove the frame you get this cool shadow effect.
The paper is from the Bo Bunny Vicki B. collection. I got this 6x6 paper pad from Pumpkin Spice. It's the best online store! They sell top name brand paper and supplies at amazing prices.
This paper pad is only $4.19!!
Now head on over to Fantabulous Cricut and check out the other Design Team member's creations. They are just awesome! Then create your own bug project and link it to FCCB.
Very nice card. I like the colors. Question how did you get the stencil to stay still?
