This card is my entry for the Letter D Alphabet Challenge. The D in my card is the dragonfly die. I first started with a panel of Kromekote paper that I sprinked with Ken Oliver Ultramarine Blue and Violet color burst powders. Then I sprayed it heavily with water and set aside to dry. I cut a stitched rectangle die, then die cut the flourish out of the rectangle die. Once the watercolor piece is dry, I took it outside and sprayed it with Elmer's spray adhesive, then I ran inside and poured SU dazzling diamonds glitter over the entire piece. I set this aside to dry a bit longer. Once dry, I cut a rectangle of the watercolored piece to fit behind the rectangle die, and I cut the bottom layer of the dragonfly die to fit behind the detail white layer. This is a super fun card to make. Thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

I am commenting again, because I just wanted to see how you did this card. And I am realizing or rather just noticing that design idea of putting the rectangle off set on your card base and then placing your dragonfly where it is. Brilliant!
