Hello again, friends! I'm sharing something pretty today. At least I hope you agree. I've used another of my new-to-me edger dies by Creative Expressions. This one is called Dragonfly Edger.
I love how some of the parts lift, rather than cut out all the way. The pretty 49 and Market paper provides the garden effect, and it appears to me as though the dragonfly is hovering over the edge of a pond. The flowers have clear gem centers.
There is no sentiment on the front, but this was a birthday card for a friend.
I'm sending my card over to play in the following challenges:
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #152. I've chosen the bottom row -- Die cuts(s), spring colors, floral
NBUS Challenge #36. Darnell challenges us to play with some of our never-been-used stuff.
