This was a partially-coloured experiment when I was making my sample for the Black Magic TLC earlier this week. Once I was sure the image was going to work, I stamped it again on a larger piece of card and finished that one off - but DH liked this unfinished one and wanted me to make it into a card. The dragonfly was masked and I added the texture stamp also with Frost white. Stickles round the edge and for the dragonfly eyes.
Base is white card embossed with a Darice ef. I took a narrow strip of cheesecloth, rubbed it over with Versamark and then embossed it with Iridescent Ice. After pleating it slightly and attaching it to the card base, I rubbed in some Stickles. The rest of the card base was edged with a black Sharpie. I added a thank-you sentiment cut with a Spellbinders label, and some silver sequins cut from glitter card to finish it off. DH likes it apart from the cheesecloth, but I like the way it suggests the shimmer and veins in a real dragonfly's wings, so I don't think I'll change it down.

I love how your DH gets involved. Some of my very favourite cards are ones that you were encouraged to continue with LOL. Everything about this looks gorgeous Sabrina, and I especially love the cheesecloth and what you did to it.
