We are into January with number two post. I really !!!! struggled with this colour challenge, that Lovely Lipstick sure threw me off.
But persevere I did....
Here's the colours.....
I decided to switch things up a bit as I was having difficulty with the challenge. So I cut a card 5-1/2 x 11 to make a square. Just score this puppy at 5-1/2 . Then I matted a piece of Flirty Flamingo 5x5 and cut a piece of the Soft Seafoam 4-3/4 x 3-3/4.
The Seafoam was put through the BigShot using the embossing technique with the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies.
There is a special mat you use to achieve this result. On page 221 of the catalogue you can see them. There is a great video to watch on You Tube.
So here is my card for today...
This next shot really shows the embossed Dragonflies, and I used the opposite side ( innie not outie ) for my card.
Now you can see how I snuck in a bit of the Lovely Lipstick, I know big deal, I can hardly wait to see how these talented ladies used all these colours.
I did place more inside with another sentiment, here's a peek.
The dragonflies are popped up with mini dimensional, and they have "googly" eyes , I used some pearls from the Share What You Love embellishments.
Inside I stamped the dragonfly in Flirty Flamingo then again to cut out with the thinlits. This I layered on top of the stamped image.
Now off to the rest of the hop.....I bet there are some fabulous ideas out there. Have fun and thanks for stopping by.

Yes, I totally get the scariness of the Lovely Lipstick. You used it well. Using the dies to emboss was a great idea. I especially like the dragonfly inside.
