The photo I played from is in this link.
Thanks for the challenge Stef!
-The dragonfly is stamped with StazOn black, colored with Prismacolor pencils, covered with embossing ink using a VersaMark pen and embossing with clear powder to act as a resist.
-The blue leaves were stamped with blue, darker blue marker for the edges, stamped, stamped again with VersaMark and heat embossed with clear powder. I thought the blue was to blue so I repositioned the image using a stamp positioner stamped and with a new very juicy green StazOn I stamped in green and heat embossed again with clear. That really toned down the blue.
-Sponging in shades of color was done for the background then I stamped on the small dragonflies and flowers.
