I did this for the mix challenge from Friday which was to incorporate a flying object and today's inspiration challenge is the World Market. I chose this throw pillow http://www.worldmarket.com/product/d...ow.do?&from=fn
I stamped my image in versa mark on mixed media paper and then embossed in olive. Using a combination of watercolors and markers, I colored in my dragonfly. Next, I colored the bg with the starfruit marker...then using my wet finger, blended the starfruit a bit. Some gold glimmer mist was added and purposely dripping a few spots. The encyclopedia page was randomly sponged, crumbled and then dragged through the tempting turquoise pad, ripped and put on layer of card stock using modpodge. Once that was dry, I added the twine after it was dragged through turquoise pad and then sprayed some more glimmer mist. Ribbon, handquilled roses, a shimmered up chipboard heart, button, embroidery thread help to finish it off!
Have a beautiful Saturday everyone!!!!!

What a lot of interest going on in this card, Pam. I took a long look, and can't decide which layer I like the most!!! The gold embossing is gorgeous, and that color on the dragonfly is fab!! WOWZA!

I also saw the dragonflies on plates and loved them. I love what you did with your inspiration here, outstanding design implementation of all your details. You captured all the bright cheery colors from the pillow. Gorgeous!
