I started with a piece of 2 1/2 by 4 inch Pure Luxury Creme De Menthe card stock. I masked the bottom and sun using sticky notes. The sun mask was cut using circle Nestablities.
Then I sponged with Memento New Sprout ink.
Sponged Memento Summer Sky.
Then sponged Memento Bahama Blue ink.
I removed the masks from the bottom and sun and then placed a sticky note on the top. I sponged Memento New Sprout ink from the bottom, working my way up.
After removed the bottom mask, I decided there wasn't enough contrast between the sun and bottom.
So I placed the mask back on the bottom section and sponged very lightly on sun with my New Sprout sponge dauber.
I stamped the leafy branch, from Celebrate The Season, a few times using Memento Bamboo Leaves ink.
Added BG05.
Added BG02 and then used my blender pen on the highlights.
I added a bit of V04 at the base of the wings and used my Stardust Gel pen to add some sparkle to the wings.
After coloring, I cut out the dragonfly and adhered with Pop Dots. Here you can see the sparkle a bit easier. The card base is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches Pure Luxury Turquoise Sea and I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and Creme De Menthe.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
