This was the hardest VSN challenge for me!! i dont "do" alcohol inks. S-T-R-E-T-C-H-ed me!!!! in the end i had borrowed a few sharpie markers from a friend. ...still it took me AGES to come up with something to do!...then i had the idea to use them on acetate, as it is something i cant do with normal SU markers. ....after several ideas got squashed (!) i went with this! i actually like how it turned out, even though the last dragonfly went off the edge. (by that stage i was getting lazy/slack/ hurried and didnt use my positioner!)..and the sentiment had a bit of a smudge somehow, but i am happy enough with it. wasnt sure how i was going to package it for sale because the last dragonfly off the edge but i think i will give it to my son - he will like that! i like the effect of flight with the acetate sticking up, and could see i would use it again with this stamp, or maybe a hummingbird etc (maybe i will get that S2S challenge done eh Kelly??!), but i think that is it for alcohols for now- for me! ..and by the way did you know rubbing alcohol markers over stazon ink on acetate makes the ink come off! i had to colour the rest on the back. ..nothing like leaving it till the end eh?! thanks for taking me WAY out of my comfort zone! i like how it worked out!
...sorry about the photo quality, it was night time!

You were very brave to venture out of your comfort zone and to persevere to the end! Your dragonflies looks so lifelike! I may have to try doing something with acetate.
