My card for IC135 is inspired by the yellow switch plate cover from Mackintosh Enamels. I have one of their switch plate covers in my bedroom, and they are even more gorgeous in person.
To try to achieve the enamal-like effect of the design, I cut flowers from cardstock using Cuttlebug die cuts and attached them to light yellow cardstock using temporary adhesive. I then sprayed on a layer of yellow colorwash. I removed several of the flowers and sprayed a second layer of orange color wash to finish the design.
I added a SU Rub-on sentiment, Fiskars Threading Water punched border, yellow ribbon, and Mylar blooms layered with one of the flower masks and a brown brad to finish the design. I love the chance to play with my color wash sprays.

This is a great challenge! Thank you for posting!
I am hard pressed as I don't have the right colors, but I have lots of dragonflies to choose from, so maybe I'll "wing it"! Hoping I can pull it together and borrow a digital camera that works better than mine.
Thank you for the inspiration!
