Day 108: Mon Ami Dragonfly Notecard

i got my Stampington Company online order today in the mail!  yay!  so i started flipping through the "take ten" magazine for some crafty inspiration. 

i found this card that i love.  the simplicity is perfect! 

Inspiration

i don't have a butterfly paper punch or a nice scripted "beautiful" stamp, so i adapted.

here's my version using my dragonfly paper punch and "mon ami" stamp.

i've found that the key to adhereing the dragonflies is to use the Sakura Quickie Glue Pen. the pen is so gentle it can add glue to every part of the punch including those tiny legs. gluesticks just mash the whole punch up and when i tried brushing with liquid glue or mod podge, it got all over the place. i found the pen to be the cleanest.

the sentiment is simply stamped in black ink.

i think i'll make more of these pretties using different punches and stamps.

happy spring!
