hi there,
Here is my card for the Inspiration Challenge today from the Persona Jewellery site and here is the piece I was inspired by: http://www.personaworld.com/browse/1008-Teal-Scales
I tried to keep the colours the same by inking my non-stick craft sheet with Distress inks and pulling my paper through the wet ink. When it was dry, I stamped the sentiment and then embossed just the top portion of the card. The dragonfly is stamped onto silver paper and pop dot mounted.
thanks for looking,

Very cool! I think you got the colors just right and I really like how you did the embossing folder to replicate the "bubbles" on the jewerly. The dragonfly caught my attention because I'm a hugh fan of them. TFS
