I first stamped a background with a large fern stamp I have, then I took some sparkle pen applied it to my craft mat and then added a touch of water and applied some splatters to the background with my paint brush.
Stamped the dragonfly by adding Forest Walk Spectrum noir sparkle pen to the stamp and then stamped onto my cardstock, let it dry and then colored it Olive Jade sparkle pen, I didn't manage to pick up the sparkle in any of my pictures :(
I really liked this paper to go with my image but didn't have quite a large enough piece so I added some washi tape to the end. Using a scrap that was left over after cutting out my background I used that piece to stamp my sentiment.
Rubber Stampede - Fern leaf stamp
Purple Daisy Design - Dragonfly stamp

Spellbinders - A2 Distressed edges and A2 matting basics B die sets
Tim Holtz - Symphony tissue tape

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and saying Hi,
Connie
