Chasing Dreams Through the Trees

The new challenge at DRAGONFLY DREAMS is "use diecuts".

For this card, I played with layered die cuts to create a whimsical outdoor scene. I wanted it to feel light, free, and full of possibility, so I built up a soft sky background and framed it with delicate tree silhouettes.

The focal point is the pair of girls, captured mid-motion as they run hand in hand through the grass. Their silhouettes add a playful, almost nostalgic feel, while the dimensional layers give the scene depth and life. I finished it off with a simple sentiment, “Discover Yourself” which perfectly matches the sense of adventure and self-discovery the card represents.

I love how die cutting allows you to tell a story just through shapes and layers—no coloring needed! This design would work beautifully for encouragement and friendship.

Your card is absolutely precious, Deanne!! This is a reminder that childhood needs to be innocent. To have plenty of time to enjoy, play, discover, laugh and being with friends and family! Thanks for including FQGS and AA in your blog post shares! -- Becca S
