This woodgrain EF always works a treat. I stamped the flowers (with markers, then spritz) for a lovely water color effect. Stamped the greeting, and then dry embossed the whole piece. Layered onto 2 x DPs then onto card front...so four layers in all. Stamped & trimmed the dragonfly (added Glitzee glue to the wings), popped it up with foam tape. Pearls in flower centres. Ribbon & bow to finish.
For the Duets central theme...every garden must have some winged creatures fluttering around - here a dragonfly!
And the Ways To Use it challenge is to use layers or matting.

The colorful mats just make the top textured layer just pop!

Great results with spritzing, dry embossing, paper piecing and layering. Such an awesome card.

This really jumped out at me in the gallery today - the soft, lovely colors of the flowers and that beautiful dragonfly are so summery and airy - love the embossing over all.
