This is my submission for TLC168. We were to heat emboss and use our choice of watercolor techniques on our card. As soon as I read the challenge I knew exactly what stamp I wanted to use. I heat embossed the image in gold, used Prisma Pencils and Gamsol to watercolor, then painted Shimmerz on the wings of the dragonflies, and covered the whole thing with one coat of Diamond Glaze. I used the Cuttlebug to cut the corner treatments.
As always, thanks for looking. What do you think?

Wow! This is spectacular! The gold embossing looks great! It must have been hard coloring all the intricate details of your image! The coloring is outstanding! Love the corners!
