One of the best things about being a card-maker is being able to make whatever size card you want. Sometimes you might want a card to fit a particular envelope, and other times it might be necessary to tweak the size of the card to the size of the image you wish to use.
The tall, narrow image from Dragonfly Garden would certainly fit on a regular A2 size card, but doesn't it shine on this tall, slim design? I wanted the dragonfly to be the focal point and was very pleased with how this card turned out.
I used Stampin' Blends to color the dragonfly. The sentiment was stamped with Highland Heather ink onto a strip of white cardstock with distressed edges.
I thought the sequins were a nice embellishment, but adding the So Saffron tab to the end of the sentiment strip was a nice decorative touch, along with the Baker's twine bow and rhinestone. The finished card was approximately 3.5" x 8.5" and easily fit into a letter-size envelope.
And, of course, the dragonfly wings had to have a touch of Wink of Stella glimmer!
