The "frame" for this card is made using a stitched rectangle die, on the "wrong" side of the card, run through the machine with the embossing mat and plate in place of the cutting plate. Embossing with a die is a technique I've not used for years, but it can be very effective and gives extra versatility to your dies.
For the central panel and sentiment, I inked the die cut while still in the die, then stamped, still in the die, with stamps from SU's Just Believe set. The dragonflies are stamped from an old magazine freebie set, and lightly tinted with the blue ink before cutting them out.
I am sharing this with Colour Hues - Aqua and Black

Very pretty. Great technique embossing with a die and it turned out great. Love the design of your card.
Beautiful! Love the scene you created! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
Jane, This came out so nice! Flipping your die-cut to the reverse side was such a great idea! I am going to have to file that trick away and remember it! Love the black and white dragonflies too. Thanks for choosing to join us at Color Hues, we really appreciate it.
