Welcome back crafters!
Today I am sharing another card making project using some gorgeous new items from the Occasions Catalogue.
Most of your who follow me will have seen me using the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle alot recently...I do adore this set lol and yes I do use it again hahaha
BUT
I have incorporated the Window Box Thinlits Dies for this card...
This project started with a glimmer of an idea from the colour scheme offered up over at GDP this week.
I love the negative images from this set that can be used for so may things, including the gorgeous box the dies was made to co ordinate with.

These colours are just glorious aren't they!
My card project kind of reminds me of a sunburst Dahlia...
I did say Kind of! lol
Here are the colours that Global Design Project have chosen for their challenge this week.
SUNBURST DAHLIA

For my project I first cut out 2 hexagons from the Window Box Thinlit using Whisper White, I then cut the negative image from one of the hexagons, using the die that fits inside the hexagon shape. The whole hexagon piece I had left I ink blended using Stampin' Sponge.
I first used Watermelon Wonder in the centre, then Daffodil Delight around this and then the Emerald Envy all around the outside. I didn't have to be too neat as most of it was being covered with the window piece..But I did blend thoroughly...This made the Watermelon Wonder and the Daffodil Delight look a bit Peekaboo Peach hahaha
But I do like the effect.
I added the Dragonfly to the mix after he was stamped using the same colours.

For the card base and layers I used and A4 piece of Whisper White folded in half then cut at 10.5 cm. My layers are Emerald Envy then Whisper White again.
The flowers on the front were created using the Flourish thinlits in Watermelon Wonder and Daffodil Delight and the Petite Petals punch in Daffodil Delight.
I added Black Metalic Thread to the flowers next to the sentiment as well adding a few Silver Metallic Shapes in the mix too.

Beautiful card Kim. Love the dahlia inspired hexagon window frame. Lovely use of the colours. The dragonfly wings display it so well as does the window frame. Great work! You've inspired to start using the window box set now. :) xo
