This is a graduation card I made for my niece. I decided to incorporate it in with a SCS Card Sketch Challege. The colors of her HS are orange and black so I tried to stay with those as the primary colors. I stamped the dragonfly twice and on the second impression I cut out only the wings and body so I can adhere with just a single glue dot to give the impression that the dragonfly is in flight. I hope she likes it!

To help everyone out, the flower panel is SU! Floral Background stamp. I stamped it on Whisper White CS with Basic Black craft ink. I then used Black EP on it and embossed the whole thing. Next I simply used Only Orange ink squeezed onto the cover from the pad with my Blender Pen and highlighted, light and dark, where I wanted it. I used Old Olive with the same techniques on all the leaves. Last step wipe it all of with a napkin just in case any got on the embossed part. Super easy and quite an elegant look! Give it a try!
