Using the sheet number 2 b from the paper pad, cut a matting that is a little smaller than the card front for a matting. Adhere this to the card front. Flip the sheet over to the 2 a then cut out the pink print for the card front. Taking the green card stock and the outer die from the Stairway Gardens die, die cut a frame to fit the pink paper. You do this by letting the die you don’t want to cut hang over or out from the cutting plates so the die cutting  machine does not cut the full die frame. Look to the video. Adhere this all to the left of the card front by using the 3 D tape or 3 D foam dots / tape.

Taking the green card stock and the Album Tags & Accents die set die cut the outer frame as seen in the project photo. Using white card stock, the sepia ink and the Elegant Gateway Sentiments stamp used, stamp the image twice. Die cut one of the sentiments with the inner frame die, the remaining sentiment, fussy cut he banner. Use the aqua pencils and the water pen brush to bring color to the sentiment elements. The colors used are: Sherbet Lemon 0100, Hot Red 0410, Field Green 1500, Teal Green 1300. Adhere the banner in place then the sentiment frame to the outer frame. Adhere all to the card front to the right.

To make the dragonflies, take the Decorative Dragonfly stamp and matching dies, the versa-mark and gold embossing powder. Make  two layers for each dragonfly. Make three sets. Bring color to the dragonflies by using the aqua pencils, Hot Red 0410, Field Green 1500 and Teal Green 1300. Use the shaping tools to bring shape to the wings. Adhere in place. Apply the stickles to the wings and make a glitter trail for each dragonfly. Last apply the stickles to the sentiment.
