Warm Harted...

 Welcome to the May challenge for
Dragonfly Dreams. I see crafters using more and more 
stencils to create card backgrounds. So, this month our theme is
stencils. I used an ombre colored pallette for my background.

 I live in horse county and we are in the 
midst right now now of all sorts of races and events.
These papers from Graphic 45 were perfect to 
make these horse themed  projects.

One project is a shadow box that I constructed and also die cut a 
portion of a fence. Different parts of Graphic 45 paper were used to add
ephmerea pieces to the box. The next project is one that I actually
take to the Steeplechase races which are held here in Aiken, South Carolina
twice a year.Our little group just places small bets on the horses but I always
forget the name of the horse I chose. So this little book is convenient
to have around to remind me.

 This triple layer oval card features a beautiful collection
of paper and ephemera from Graphic 45. This
collection is from 2023 and called "Life is Abundant."

I love the paper that is also two sided so
it is always easy to mix and match on your project.
The ephemera is fanatstic and has a little
bit of everything to dress up your project and add 
the right touch with layering.
