Are you playing along in our Rainbows challenge at The Mixed Media Card Challenge? Our optional element this month is Dragonflies.
My newest obsession is PaperArtsy Infusions, a mix of dye colour particles and walnut crystals. I was only going to buy two or three colours, but I couldn't make my mind up, so I bought the set of 12 :)
I wet a strip of the mixed media paper and sprinkled the crystals on, spritzing and dripping, then wet another strip and moved on to the next colour, until I'd made the grungiest rainbow ever!
The dragonflies, from The Bee's Knees Winged Things, were stamped on another sheet of Infusions-filled paper and fussy cut. I splattered some gold mica sparkle on the background, and added Wink of Stella to the main dragonfly and Stickles to the two smaller dragonflies. I just stuck the dragonflies down by their bodies, and lifted the wings for dimension.
You've still got time to join us - bring your rainbow with you!
I'm adding this to CAS Mix Up where the theme is Stamping + Sprays + Your Choice (Fussy Cutting).
