A Birthday Flyby

Happy Sunday everyone. Today I share with you Miles, the dragonfly. He's one of Cristy Croll's Huggabugg creations. I've been jonesing to color him up for some time now but I didn't have the right paper. Then I saw some Echo Park paper from their Little Boy collection titled In the Clouds online at Stamping Bella. Yup, that's exactly what I was looking for. My package arrived Thursday night and I knew this would be tackled this weekend.

I've also been loving using my new fiskars swivel finger cutter so I stamped him on Bella's Bestest paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink , colored him with copics and cut him out. Of course, I also added shading with prismacolor pencils blended with gamsol, some glitter on his wings and Stamping Up! Crystal Effects on his goggles. Then I popped him up on a layer of circle Nesties placed on top of a Tim Holtz die. The striped paper is the reverse of the 12x12 paper. I ran the panel through the Cuttlebug with the Polka Dot embossing folder and then added some machine stitching.

The banner sentiment is also from Stamping Bella. While the one I used isn;t in stock right now there are quite a few more to choose from here. I don't have a recipient in mind for this, I figured it would make a perfect little boy birthday card. Can never have too many of those laying around.
