I'm always up for some new color combinations. But I also love some old favorites too!

Purple and teal is an old favorite of mine, but I wanted to spice it up a bit by adding an unexpected color--bright green! This Distress color blend of teal and green ended up being the perfect match for a pretty Reneabouquets dragonfly that I have been saving for just the right project. 

I started by layering Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron Distress Inks on some white cardstock that I trimmed with my deckle edge trimmer on the longer sides. I spritzed and splattered with water, dabbing up the excess and then drying with my heat tool. 

I then die cut the slimline Moroccan Tile die on purple cardstock, trimming it straight on one edge and with the deckle edge trimmer on 2 others. I also trimmed it back with scissors to create a raw edge on the fourth edge. I used Smart Glue to adhere it to the card front. 

I used both Smart Glue and foam squares to add some of the offcuts to the card front. I then added the Reneabouquets dragonfly over the die cut, gently bending the wings for dimension. To finish it off, I added a sentiment sticker and glued on a few purple gems. 

I then used the 1" and 2" foam adhesive (I cannot live without foam adhesive!!) to add the card front to a scored card. And that's it! Simple and pretty! 

I have some special projects coming up next month so be sure to follow me on Instagram to get notified of my newest projects and blog posts! Next month I'll be sharing my guest designs for Reneabouquets and I can't wait to share those projects with you!

Happy Crafting!
