The theme for the April card class was “Butterflies and Dragonflies”.  One of the techniques used for a dragonfly card was the “faux stained glass” technique.  The inspiration for the card and technique came from Dawn Griffith at Dawn’s Stamping Thoughts.  Not only did I like the technique but the color combination of Wisteria Wonder, So Saffron and Mint Macaron. The Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and detailed Dragonfly Thinlits dies coordinate wonderfully with the Awesomely Artistic stamp set and it’s dragonfly.

This was a fun technique enjoyed by class participants so be sure to check out Dawn’s video via the link.  Be sure to add a dragonfly to your envelope too.  With the many color combinations available using Stampin’ Up! products, you can create your own special stained glass dragonfly!
