I started by cutting my card base and bridge pieces. For the base I cut my cardstock to 4-1/2″x 5-3/4″.I scored the base at 1-1/2″, & 3″ – Then trimmed a hair off each end(long side only). this will help the card lay flat to fit in the envelope.

I cut 2 pieces of cardstock at 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″

Score them at 1/2″, 2-3/8″, 3-1/8″, & 5″

Next, I trimmed my pattern paper for the base I cut 3 pieces. Each piece is 1-1/4″ x 51/2″

I adhered them to the card base.

Then, I trimmed the pieces for the bridge panels. I cut 4 pieces at 1-5/8″ x 1-1/4″ and 2 pieces at 1/2″ x 1-1/4″

I adhered them in place.

Next, I adhered the two bridge panels onto the base. I glued the little tabs to the back of the base at the top and bottom.

It should look like this. I set it a side while I worked on the Dragonfly.

I gathered theClear Scraps: Dragonflies Chipboard Embellishments and trimmed out one Dragonfly. I got the VersaMark ink, the embossing powder and my heat tool.

I pressed the ink onto the dragonfly covering it completely. I pressed it several times to make sure I had plenty of ink on the dragonfly.

I then covered the dragonfly with embossing powder. Shook off the excess powder.

Heat Set the powder until completely melted. This emossing powder had gold glitter in it for extra shine.

I then trimmed a piece of acetate to about 1/2″ x 4 ” strip. I then placed the dragonfly onto the acetate and marked with a red alcohol marker through the heart. Removed the dragonfly and made the dot a bit bigger.

Next, I adhered the dragonfly onto the acetate strip.

I then place a tiny piece of tear tape on each end of the acetate strip.

I then adhered the stip into the center of the card.

Next, I stamp and embossed the sentiment using the same embossing powder that I used for the Clear Scraps: Dragonflies Chipboard Embellishments. I die cut the sentiment and a few more blank piece and adhered them together to create a firm piece.
