Check out these dynamic colours!!  
Delightful Dijon, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Crushed Curry.


Now,
(confession time... shhhhh... my school uniform {a looong time ago teeheee} was purple and gold, sooooo, you probably know where I'm going here..... these colours are NOT my favourites!!)
But,

It's so pretty!!  Just goes to show you that dragonflies can cure just about ANYTHING!!  
Side note:  It must be the season now because dragonflies are around at the moment all about our garden - how blessed are we!!


This card features a double Z fold using some vellum for the greeting layer, and we'll be creating this card in an upcoming class!!

  3. You've made the colours so very light and airy Julia. I love how your yellow dragonflies take off from the sentiments below. x

  4. A purple and gold uniform??? Really!! Aaaagh! I would feel the same about bottle green and brown (Ugly). So ... I'm glad the dragonflies made this card look so good in those colours. The bees are pretty cute too and of course I am a bit partial to a z-fold.
