Friends With Flair - Post #42

Hello, friends! Time for another Friends with Flair post, hooking up with others at Unity Stamp Company's blog here. It's been a busy week for me, helping out at Marika's school book fair and purging over 400 books from our collection (no, that's not a typo), so I didn't have much time to craft.

I recently switched from being a SMAK member to a KOM member (with time being more scarce, it was easier to make cards instead of layouts) and decided to pull out the September KOM to play with. And oh, did I mention I love insects and I absolutely adore this dragonfly image???

I chose a sketch #368 from MojoMonday, but had to deviate slightly from the embellishment shape - I wanted to make a thank you card, simply because I believe it's impossible to have TOO MANY. What a great "thank you" sentiment and what an unusual orientation - so, I made it work.

The patterned papers are all from a previous Unity "thank you" gift (gotta love me some Authentique!) and, having finally refilled most of my Spectrum Noir markers, I was ready to color again. I might have gotten a little carried away with the Stickles and liquid pearls, but I thought the dragonfly deserved to look as magical as possible!

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you all have a chance to check out the latest sale at Unity - you can get $5 off a $20 order, how awesome is that? There are some wonderful new releases as well.
