When dry, I stamped the silhouette meadow border (a magazine freebie - I think it is an Indigo Blu stamp) then cut the panel to size and added a die cut frame. The sentiment is stamped with a sentiment from the Dovecraft Curiosity Corner range.
I cut the dragonflies from the same blue card using Gummiapan dies, then carefully coated the die cuts with glossy accents and left them to dry, but when they were almost set I used fine tweezers to bend up the wings and tails slightly to give them some dimension. When they had dried hard I attached them with Pinflair glue.

Your water colouring looks great, it's nice to play and when it works out even better,
Lovely stamp, freebies are great for something different that costs nothing
Lovely card, well done
Beautiful CAS card Jane, love the shades of blue you used.
Great card, Jane, love how you've done the beautiful background. As soon as I saw the post title with 'dragonfly' pop up in my reading list, I knew it had to be your blog! ;-) xx

I have that freebie stamp too. Love how you have used yours as a silhouette for your watercolour background. Dragonflies are a nice addition. Thank you for playing in the butterfly garden where all insects are welcome. Hugs Mrs A.
