tuesday...dragonfly tutorial

Here's the dragonfly tutorial that I promised!

Supplies:

• transparency
• clear embossing powder
• heat embossing tool
• printer
• photo paper
• rhinestones (optional)

Step 1. Print THIS file on a 4"x6" photo paper as well as a transparency sheet (acetate). Let the photo paper dry (a few minutes, depending on your paper/printer). As soon as you print on the transparency sheet, sprinkle some clear embossing powder and melt it with an embossing heat gun.
BEWARE: Do not over heat it (or keep it too close to the heat gun) as it will also melt the transparency sheet!


Step 2. Cut out a dragonfly from each media-one from the photo paper and one from the acetate.


Step 3. Layer the transparency dragonfly over the photo paper dragonfly and there you have it! A super fast, super easy embellie to add to your layout!


Step 4. (OPTIONAL) Now, you can take it a step further and embellish your dragonfly by adding two (or more) rhinestones in the body like I did.

I hope that you enjoyed this very fast tutorial. You can definitely apply this concept to butterflies and other embellies to give them dimension and texture!
