I cased Markie's Mom's Dragonfly card a second time. I decided I'd give the same card another try. I felt like I could do better than my first one. I didn't use EP on this try-only Pearl Ex and the Classic ink using aqua painter and it made a lot nicer image. The EP made the lines in the dragonfly too wide on the first try. I changed the background paper color and only used 3 brads instead of 17 and no hodgepodge or ribbon. I also rounded the corners of the card.

Oh my gosh, that dragonfly just pops off thi card!! Absolutely the best I have seen -- please, please if you have time -- can you PM me to tell me exactly how you did this (I know you used Pearl Ex, but did you use anything first to get it to stick, watercolor first then PE?). Sorry I am so ignorant -- but I just love this and there has to be a secret to creating this (besides the fact that you are an artist). tyfs

Beautiful! Love your color choices. I especially like the plaid bg and those word window tabs with great contrasting brads! The sentiment is just right too!
