This layout is a CASE of Kim Van De Riet's gorgeous Paint Prints & Wonderful Wings card: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers Here I used The Art of Life hostess set and the double resist technique, also called "Pressing Out the Details" because you use an iron to remove the embossing powder (it's the only time I use an iron any more ). The colors are based on the Fiesta Spectrum Pad. Kim's way of doing the dragonfly is fantastic - it looks so real!

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
