How has your week been? I've had a very creative one to include some Aboriginal Artwork being completed by my little one!
It's my turn to host the challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers today and my theme is 'Wing It'. I decided to use dragonflies on my creation. I made the wings from vellum so they flutter!
I used one of my favourite techniques to begin with - smooshing, using a couple of distress oxide ink pads. I added glimmer paste through a stencil and then some stamping.
Finally, a little thread and wool to the bottom of my card and some sequins to the dragonflies for added texture. I really am fond of the sentiment 'With brave wings she flies'. Sometimes you have to be brave in life - you never know where it may take you!
You can see lots more inspiration from the Design Team HERE and I do hope you'll join in as there are so many possibilities where wings are concerned: angels, fairies, insects, planes etc.
Have a lovely weekend - I hear the sunshine is back next week!

This is so beautiful Shabneez! I love your inky background with some sparkles and the vellum really makes you dragonflies look like they could flutter off at any moment. Gorgeous! Have a lovely weekend.
