About a month ago, I tried out my alcohol inks for the first time, though I bought them a couple of years ago. (Here is a link to my first card.) Anyhoo....I had experimented with different colors and nearly threw the rejects away, but saved the ink'd papers in my stash for just the right project....these dragonflies!! All I had to do was stamp the dragonflies with Stazon Jet Black onto the alcohol ink'd paper, cut them out and popped them up with foam tape.
Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'Faithful Friend', available March 1st;
Cardstock: Stampin Up Perfect Plum, Whisper White, and Glossy White;
Ink: Stazon Jet Black, SU Perfect Plum, and Alcohol Inks;
Accessories: Sizzix Embossing Folder (from Stampin Up), Pearls by 'Want To Scrap', paper piercer and template, Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp positioner, foam tape;
Size: A2.
I have also used the following challenges in the making of this card:
The Crafty Pad: Recycle it...use something you nearly threw away (alcohol ink layer);
Stampin Sisters in Christ: variegated colors on your project;
Craft Your Passion: paper piecing.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a very blessed week!!

Hope you have a great day!
Beautiful card (as usual). Thanks to you, I'm still learning and from this point on when the paper doesn't come out good, I'll put it in my scrap box and use for stamping and cutting for another project.
A beautiful CAS Card! Thanks for linking up to the Recycle It Challenge at The Crafty Pad this week!
Good Luck
