dragonfly thanks...

Hello!!  Stopping in with a card today that uses more new crafty purchases.  This time from Stampin Up!.  I'm a total sucker for butterfly and dragon fly stamps and dies and when I saw the Dragonfly Dreams and matching Detailed Dragonfly dies in the spring 2017 SU! Occasions mini catalog I just had to get them.  Finally got a chance to make something with the set in the last few days.  The card was actually built around the copper butterfly.  I did a light color wash on some watercolor cardstock using a light blue ZIG marker.  I let it dry a bit and then stamped a solid image dragonfly on the panel using Peeled Paint and Forest Moss distress inks and blended it out a bit with some clean water.  A splatter image from another SU! set I got was stamped with Broken China and then blended out a little with water.  When everything was dry I added some Crystal stickles to the wings.   The sentiment was stamp in Forest Moss.  I trimmed down the panel and then adhered the dragon fly and some sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  For a little drama I decided to adhere the panel to some dark grey glimmer cardstock and then to a white card base. 

Wishing you a wonderful day...
