Take time to enjoy

 Using more of the Paper Rose papers for another masculine card for our friend. They make such pretty cards, I added a stamped dragonfly to the scene!


  • Paper Rose - Lakeside Memories Paper collection
  • Crafter's Companion - Advent calendar dragonfly stamp and die set, colored w/markers and spectrum sparkle pen on the wings
  • Spellbinders - Deckled Rectangle dies for the matting


I would like to share my card today with Love those pretty papers challenge Optional polka dots

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

The soft lakeside scene paired with the dragonfly creates such a peaceful moment, and the deckled edges frame it in a way that feels both rustic and refined. The shimmer on the wings adds just enough light to draw the eye without taking away from those beautiful papers. A wonderful balance of masculine tones and gentle detail.
