I paper pieced the dragonflies using scraps. For my twist I used part of an encyclopedia page. The word "Mixed" is on one wing. It made me happy to use that word on my mixed media card. I did burned glue for the centers of the flowers. I painted over the burned glue with yellow acrylic paint. I painted the petals with white acrylic paint. I put glitter on the dragonflies. I added a layer of cheescloth.

This is so amazing, Marilyn. Those dragon flies are wonderful with your litter. so happy you could use the word 'mix' from your sheet. You are so all about mixed media.

Wonderful paper piecing in the dragonfly wings and way cool to get the word mixed in there! I also love the texture results achieved from the burnt glue technique. Fab card!

Your card is so creative and beautiful, from your delicate dragonflies to your textured daisies. I love all the techniques you used. Thank you for the introduction to the burnt glue technique. I watched a few videos and will definitely try it.
