Another Dragonfly

Greetings again from a lovely sunny spring day.


I liked the MMSC #76 so much that I tried again.... and again I used the dragonfly from Priscillastyles... The base paper is one I made myself using the dragonfly image repeatedly - what I had in mind and what I ended up with when I finished with the computer  (or should I say that the computer finished with me?) were two different things, but I got the creativity going and chalked the background and then sprayed it with silver Glimmermist. I am very happy with that result!

The main image was cut around with a Nestie called Lacey Squares,  it was sponged with the Pearlescence Orchid ink before the die was removed.  I then backed this with some blue card that matched the base. 
                                                                                                    
The dragonfly was coloured with chalks and then  kindyglitz was added to the wings for some sparkle and shimmer.
I had cut a second set of wings which received the same treatment, before being adhered with dimensional glue. For some reason the wings curled as they dried, which gave extra dimension.

This panel was mounted over a pale mauve one which had Happy Birthday randomly stamped over it.  


The ribbon and pearls were added and I had a card completed which  I am very pleased with.
