Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
The background was done with Pacific Point re-inker on acetate, spritzed with water
and pressed down. A little different technique for a loose watercolor look.
After stamping I went over some spots with a Quickie Glue Pen and dropped
some fine Sweet Poppy Glitter over it!
A little random stamping of printing adds a little extra dimension to the background.

CAS Mix Up - Loose Watercoloring
Krafty Chicks - Stamp Act (Must have stamping)

Love this, Bonnie! The large dragonfly only needed that wonderful loose inking to give it presence and the splatters and script gives it a wonderful mixed media look.
