I had colored this image with pencils some time ago and decided it needed to be mounted on a card today. I die cut the image and a white the same size then did a fancy fold on the front of the card and die cut the green mat for the inside and a half cut on the outside. Mounted some flowers I had on my desk and added some white leaves. I also had the dragon flies on my desk. Both the flowers and dragon flies I sponged on the color and on the body of the dragon fly I colored it with copics. I did a double mount of the dragon fly so it looks like his wings are moving. Also I added stickles to the image, dragon flies and the flowers. The Happy Birthday is mounted on dimensionals so the image will tuck behind and hold closed.
Thank you for looking!

Oh my, this is so pretty. I love the potted flower image, in the darker colors. The white leaves, and white scalloped bg , really pulls this all together. The pink flowers, and dragonflies, are the perfect additions. I love everything about this gorgeous card. tfs.

What a fabuluous image and how dramatic and rich it looks on the dark bg! WOW! And I agree with the others who said you've got a wonderful sense of detail. I love those dragonflies!
