Summer is coming to an end soon but the dragonflies are still in the garden. The ones that we have are a beautiful iridescent blue and green that I have tried to capture on my card. I had forgotten this PSX stamp until I saw my friend Joy's Dragonfly card on her blog here and I pulled out the stamp to play with. I also was inspired by this week's challenge at Just Us Girls to use blues and greens. I colored the image with Glaze pens .....which gave a very shiny finish. Added some doodling with the black glaze pen. Added Pear Tart coloring to the edge of the image and looped edge ribbon to finish. I thought the pattern paper was a perfect combo.
