Dragonfly Twofer

Hello my friends.
I hope you are set to enjoy the weekend.

This card is a CASE of Loll's card.

She led some of us through making this card while we were at the retreat.

You can see Dolly's card here.

I pulled out a light colored watery background and stamped

the dragonfly onto it.  I stamped another dragonfly on a scrap of

mixed media paper and heat embossed it with clear powder.

Using Luminere paint and a waterbrush, I colored both dragonflies

and fussy cut the wings and body of the embossed one.

If you look closely you can see some of that gorgeous shine on the wings.

Some Crystal Glaze on the body adds extra shine and dimension.

There was some leftover paint on my craft mat and using my finger,

I smooshed it over a piece of Neenah.

While that was drying, I stamped and clear embossed another dragonfly

coloring this one with watercolor pencils.

I fussy cut the whole dragonfly this time and popped it on

the smooshed piece that had been die cut.

I'm thinking some Lumiere paint needs to find it's way into my card!

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
