Now for my color challenge card which also is a SNEAK PEEK of the new line of stamps that Rubbernecker will be carrying beginning tomorrow, April 1st! And this is NO April Fool’s Day joke!

These stamps are KK Originals stamps. You’ve heard of them, right? (Deets here.) You won’t believe how beautiful and diverse the images are! I LOVE them!! I used Dragonfly Bubble Dance and Dance Text on this card:

Dragonfly Dance

I had so much fun coloring this card with my Copic markers. I actually stamped the image twice, colored one of the images completely and then just colored the dragonfly and the leaves on the second image. These were cut out and I used my craft knife to cut part way along the line between the top and bottom dragonfly wings and between the leaves. I place tiny pieces of mounting tape under portions of the top wings and some of the leaves to lift these from the rest of the image. It has so much dimension in real life! Here’s a thumbnail of a close up picture. You can click on it to see it bigger.

On this second layer of the dragonfly, after I colored it with the Copic markers, I coated it with my Versamark pen and then applied some interference violet Pearl-Ex with a soft dry paint brush. The shimmer is awesome!

Thanks for stopping to read my blog today! Be sure to come back tomorrow when I’ll have another card made with new KK Originals stamps and links for the Tuesday Rubbernecker Treasure Hunt!
