CAS-ual Fridays and Just Us Girls


Due to time constraints I am combining two challenges.....Just Us Girls has "Ombre" as a theme and it's "all that glitters" at CAS-ual Fridays. So the dragonfly glitters over an ombre background. It kind of hard to photograph the glitter. 



A while ago I saw on the Stampendous website the Kaleidoscope embossing powder  - that is really cool! It changes color depending on how long you heat it starting at blue to green, to golden brown. I only heated it at its blue and green stage, going with my background colors. I love the effect.




I found another cool challenge to submit this card to: Catered Crop - the theme is glitter, too. How perfect is that?

Materials: Dragonfly  - Stamping Ground, Gradation background by Impression Obsession, sentiment Papertrey Happy Trails, Kaleidoscope embossing powder by Stampendous
