I made this quick 'Thank You' card to send to a friend and have used a few more snippets and an upcycled dragonfly which had been stamped onto vellum.
I attached a strip of marbled paper to a piece of dark purple card and trimmed the edges so there was a very thin strip of card on either side of the paper. I placed the card blank into my MISTI and laid the marbled paper strip on top so I could see where to place the 'thank you' stamp. I stamped the sentiment in purple ink, stamping a couple of times to get a good depth of colour. After removing the card from MISTI I attached the marbled strip above the sentiment and then attached the dragonfly with a spot of glue under its body.

To make this card I used:
5.5" x 4.25" white hammer card blank
Upcycled vellum dragonfly (this was on a card I received from a friend a while ago and I don't know the name of the stamp and die)
Clearly Besotted 'Mini Calligraphy' stamp
Versafine Imperial Purple ink
Snippets of marbled paper and purple card
