Papercraft Star Challenge 1

Well the time has finally come for the design team to post their very first challenge projects for Papercraft Star. In case you don't remember this challenge is a photo inspiration challenge. The photo we used was this one ...



Hopefully you will join us and post your project using the above picture over at http://www.papercraftstar.blogspot.com/. Now on to my project ;o)

I decided to create an easel sympathy card using the silver, red, and white in the picture. Also, my eyes were imediately drawn to the dragonly in the picture.

Dragonfly Birthday

I was asked by a woman at work to make her a birthday card for a friend of hers but it had to have a dragonfly and had to be earth tone colors. So here is what I came up with.
