Dragonfly Edger

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.


 


Thanks so much for visiting today.  You know I love it when you drop in.  Take care!

Oh my it is just gorgeous, and you know that I love those papers, I too like it when parts flip up from the die to give more dimension, the gems are a pretty touch to the flowers!

Very pretty indeed with the new die. The paper really lets you focus on the die cut without fussing on other stuff. Turned out so pretty Leslie.

It's absolutely stunning!! I have back tracked to see all your incredible creations and I am so happy to hear that you have perfectly normal insides! I know things are worrying with your husband and I can but hope he's doing well (and those fur babies). Thanks ever so much for your prayers and your support over my stressful time, sending hugs

You do know that you do the most AMAZING things with paper, right? Yes, absolutely true. I love the ways you used DSP - these patterns are lovely and just seem to bring the die cut image to life. I love everything about this one, Leslie! Sweet gems to add sparkle might be my favorite.
