First, this is for Sabrina's wondeful April showers WT526 challenge. "Where are the showers" you might ask. The bg was sprayed with a lovely mist of perfect pearls. Then I carefully added little dots of stickles in matching colors to look like a fine sprinkle of spring showers over everything. I tried to get a good photo, but had to give up before I threw the card and tablet out the window. So, to use the most common phrase on SCS...."it looks much more shimmey IRL". For the CC525, Mary gave us so many colors to choose from... I picked the diagonal colors So Saffron, Rich Razzelberry, Crushed Curry, and Old Olive. I used my fav technique - sponge 3 colors of distress inks to cover the entire piece of cardstock. Then stencil the same colors over the bg. The dragonflies were stamped onto the bg and onto white cs. After coloring them with copics, I fusdy cut them and glued just the bodies down, leaving the wings popped up. I am off to work. Will be back tonight to comment on the gallery. TFL, Francie

Oh, I think we all understand the problems of trying to take photos showing shimmer!! Those Art-Deco style butterflies are super-duper amazing; even against that gorgeous background they still stand out!!
