This week's FS is Diane (fionna51). I was so surprised by the fact Diane has never been our FS before today. She has an amazing CAS gallery, something that I struggle with. That being said, the card I cased is
I kept the same layout, but changed the colors, the image, and sentiment. My dragonflies are painted with a pearlescent paint. IRL it just shimmers, but not sure you can tell in the upload.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look. Hope you like it.

Lovely card, Barb, with your combination of various techniques and pretty colors. Shimmer is SO hard to capture with a camera...unless one is a real expert.

Your painted dragonflies are gorgeous Barb! The stenciling and your layers are your style and I love it! Even your mats are all so perfectly cut in a matching, contrasting color! Beautiful!

Barbie, beautiful and I knew it was yours without seeing the name!!! You have a fabulous style that is so classically good looking it draws a person in and says "you need a closer look" heehee, well I guess it doesn't SAY that but you know what I mean!!
I love your dragonfly panel and the grid stenciled behind it is so wonderful!! Just LOVE the whole thing!

I really love this bg, and the beautiful dragonflies, Barb - and I would love to see it in real life - frustrating to have it shimmer gorgeously IRL and not be able to capture it, but I can just imagine!

Love the layers and the depth you achieved on this card - and you used one of my favorite techniques - matting everything in a coordinating color. Beautiful!
