Let Your Dreams Take Flight

For this card I used the gorgeous dragonfly and sentiment from Gina K Designs Dreams Take Flight stamp set.  I’ve loved this dragonfly since the day Gina introduced it.  I stamped it onto card stock with VersaMark and then added silver embossing powder.  But before that, I got my set of Gelato metallic’s out and went to work blending them on the cardstock.  This is a fun product to use.  You really can’t see the pretty shine that the metallic Gelatos adds to the card stock, but in real life it has a very pretty luster.  I matted the focal image onto black cardstock and that onto a textured silver cardstock and back to black again.  Photography and silver embossing powder is a hard combination to overcome as you can see.

  1. If you click on the picture you can see all the shine and how gorgeous and elegant it looks! Never used gelatos on my cards. Also thanks for stopping by my blog and for all the sweet comments you left for me and for accepting my friend request on Facebook ! I only have one stamp set from Flourishes so I wanted to make good use of all the stamps so I thought of making a wreath!
    Have a Blessed day my dear! xo Angie

  2. Yes, if you click on the picture, you can see all of the shimmer. Great job on the elegant card. Looks like you have used Gelatos before. This could be a masculine card too, but it could be for any occasion.

  4. Oh WOW that is gorgeous! I love that you used your Gelatos and embossing powder, and the angle of the focal image, that is GREAT! I've got to loosen up a bit and go off kilter! lol
