BUTTERFLIES AND DRAGONFLIES. Three challenges.

Hello again to you all. I would like to enter this card into the following three challenges.

www.mmmchallengeblog.blogspot.com  Week 34. DRAGONFLIES AND BUTTERFLIES.
www.sentimentalsundaes.blogspot.com  Challenge #87. DRY EMBOSSING + SENTIMENT.
www.craftysentiments.blogspot.com  PUNCHES & DIES.

I have used a scalloped edge card for the base and added paper from the Papermania BLUEBERRY PIE COLLECTION and edged it with a silver chainlink border.
I then used dark blue and a smaller strip of white to make a decorative border using the Martha Stewart OPTIC DOT border punch.
Onto this I cut a large Decorative Nestie  shape and embossed with SWISS DOTS folder, and in the centre I added a DIAMOND SHAPE which I edged with clear gemstones to add texture and highlight, a smaller diamond of dark blue was centred and onto that a metal DRAGONFLY.
To complete the look I made double embossed butterflies and a sentiment of BEST WISHES.
Thank you so much for stopping by and if you wish to comment, I would love that very much.
Happy crafting.
Love Sandra xxx
