You've not seen a dragonfly from me for a while, I guess it's time I put that right!
Here I've used a stamp set that was in a magazine a few years ago - I think it was designed by Indigo Blu. I stamped the border first in pale blue, then moved the card slightly up in the Misti and stamped again in darker blue, to give a shadow effect. Then also used the darker blue for the dragonfly and sentiment.
The little gap below the light blue grasses showed through the darker blue, so I finished off by blending light blue over the edges so the white doesn't show through so much.
