My card was inspired by Jaydekay's Olive Dragonfly. I changed the color palette to a two tone card, omitted the stamping on the base layer, and moved the metal accents.
I used core'dinations cardstock for my crimped layer to add contrasting color to the torn edges. The dragonfly is stamped on water color paper in dark brown and clear embossed. I used a blender pen and colorbox chalk inks to color the image. I added a layer of Gold Shimmer Blingz and Opal Shimmerz to try to get the opalescent look of a dragonfly.
