This is for the Spring CAS Design Team challenge - "Cosmetics" - use paint, wet embossing, reinkers, etc. I used paint and powder.
I got out my favourite blue Twinkling H2O paint and painted it on an acrylic block that I'd spritzed with water. I pressed it onto watercolour paper and let it dry. I then stamped the dragonfly and used a sparkly embossing powder, the colour of which is "marcasite" - not quite black, but darker than grey or silver, and with a lot of sparkle in it. I used the same powder on the sentiment. I added a shimmery black border and mounted it on dimensionals on a cream card base.

Love all the shimmer and how your dragonfly pops on the blue bg. Good luck!
