Dragonfly Dreams

There are times in my crafty life when I get what I call creatively challenged. A time when no matter what I try to do it doesn't turn out right and I end up walking out of my craft room. 

To help kick start my creativity at times like this I challenge myself to do something completely different and out of my comfort zone. I will watch videos to find that something different and when I saw this card tutorial on the Hollow Tree Hobbies Facebook page (tutorial link) I knew I had to try it! I don't know what the official name of this card style is but it was fun to do and helped me out of my creative block.

I have had the Aquarelle Dreams paper in my stash for quite a while now and was waiting for the perfect project to use it on. After watching the tutorial I couldn't wait to try this - it is unique, different and new to me. I opened the video and followed it step by step to create the card. I pushed myself even further out of my comfort zone to put the collage of ephemera pieces together to decorate the front. I had a few hiccups with the first one so did a second one and now I have two cards for my stash for a birthday, or just because or whatever I would like to use it for.
