** take two on my earlier card. DH prefers this one. I like the piercing on the rust panel, but think maybe the base card should also be rust, keeping the blue/green layer, which was sponged with Faded Jeans and Peeled Paint, and stamped with a flower from In Full Bloom using Forest Moss. Other details the same as first version**
The textured buttons in this Organic Elements project inspired me to try stamping on fun foam - something I haven't done in years .
5" square base, sponged with Rusty Hinge and Faded Jeans, and Stampendous stamp stamped repeatedly with Versamark Sienna. Maybe I should have used black, or a darker brown...
Next layer is sponged with Rusty Hinge, Scattered Straw and Antique Linen, and has the agapanthus stamp in Tea Dye.
Circle was cut from Fun Foam with Nestabilities, heated and then stamped with an un-inked stamp. I then used Luster Rub-Ons to highlight the embossed (debossed?) effect - apple green, and some midnight sparkle around the edges.
I added a dragonfly from Aspects of Design, stamped with Versamark Sepia, wings stamped with the agapanthus stamp to add veining, and the wings coloured with blue Perfect Pearls.

These are sooo awesome Sabrina...The one on the left I think is richer looking, but the beautiful blue on the right one is sooo pretty too.. I like the one on the left, cauze then the beautiful blue stands out...the one on the right takes away from the pretty blue in the middle, and the neat way u did the middle..but then who am I..

Wow, both these cards are beautiful and you've been so creative with your techniques and superb use of distress inks - I love the soft colors and particularly the soft turquoise bg!

Sabrina,
Both cards are gorgeous - but since I am such a blue person - I am drawn to the one on the right. You should be keeping a book of all the awesome techniques you use - this debossed image is beautiful!
