I love dragonflies. I collect REALLY big ones..NOT real ones, JEWELRY! I have LOTS of blinged out dragonfly pins that I wear on necklaces, especially when I teach....Okay...that was WAY off subject! YIKES! too much Diet Coke! LOL Okay...I have a large Dragonfly stamp and a clock face that I knew would work for this challenge. However, the dragonfly was too big....What to do???? I stamped the dragonfly in Noir and cut it out, trimming down the wings and the tail! I sponged on some Palette inks and then watercolored LIGHTLY with Silver Pearlescent and VIOLA! Next, I stamped the clock face in VersaMark and embossed in White Detail. I used Spellbinders circles to cut out the center, face and the outline.The background and the border are Spellbinders dies, too.

I love your card! When I looked at the store I knew I was going to use that dragonfly and the thought of a clock was there too, but I said nahhh....too much like Bill's clocks!
