Here is my card for today's Inspiration Challenge. My inspiration came from this drangonfly switch plate cover: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I had so much fun with this one. I punched out drangonflies and placed them in the corners--then I sprayed around them using the Artichoke marker, and stamped the flourishes from Stitched Exotics. While the punch outs were in place I coated the Mellow Moss cardstock with embossing ink and pearl embossig powder. After heat setting the whole piece I removed the drangonfly punch outs. Those punch out then became the ones I used in the opposite corners. My main image was stamped on vanilla and the wings covered with dazzling diamonds--then embossed and cut out. I layered the main panel adding in a Cuttlebug piece and finished it off with HP hardware. I am very pleased with how it turned out!! It goes down as one of my YEAH!! cards. I hope you like it as well.

This is breath-taking. I like how you used the punched out pieces as well as the piece from which they were punched. That's getting more bang for your buck!
