Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combo Challenge: Banana, Dusty Durango/RUST, and Gray.
I found these great Basic Grey papers that match the colors in the challenge and decided a dragonfly would fit these colors pretty well...Markie's still awake and decided that the dragonfiy was a good choice, too. (Oh, it's 2:35AM right now! He's very excited about a buddy coming over tomorrow afternoon, and he's busy cleaning his room and drawing...I decided not to complain, since he DOES have a sleeping disorder and sleeplessness does NOT bother his school work.)
I stamped the image in VersaMark onto Snow Storm Smooth and embossed in Black. I used an aqua painter to color the dragonfly with Pearlescent watercolors. I used a heat tool to dry. I sponged Bella Rose onto the designer paper to get it to match Dusty Durango.
The charm was brass and pressed into VersaMark. I embossed it in silver.
Finished card size: 5 1/2" square
Time to complete: 29 minutes

Faith, This is so pretty. Love the way you've sponged the background paper.
