I'd had another go at Ky's hand gel and reinkers technique, and it came out looking pretty awful, even after I sprinkled some Pixie Powders on it. I have some black wildflowers cut waiting to make the reverse of this card, but there was still enough of my hot mess left to cut some more wildflowers from it. I stamped the background with Gorgeous Grunge in white and a peacock spectrum pad before sticking the flowers down and embossing with the Weathered ef. I added more white ink all around the edges and matted it onto a white base. The dragonfly was cut from black card, pressed into the peacock pad and embossed with sparkle EP, though I ended up going over it with a gold pen (it was snipped off the end of the die-cut). I stuck tape behind it, trimmed it to fit and then pressed blue and green glitters in.
