To make the dragonflies I dropped a few different blue coloured alcohol inks onto acetate and let it dry. Looks pretty and a bit like dragonfly wings eh?....
Then I painted white acrylic over the alcohol inks...
Turned it over and stamped and embossed with a blue tinsel powder before cutting the dragonflies out to attach to the card!!!
They really are iridescent but it doesn't show up in the photograph! Another tricky thing to take a pic of haha!
Thank you for taking a look today, HUGS xxx

WOW Karen... This is really stunning, I LOVE your card, the dragonflies using alcohol inks and painting are fabulous contrasting on the background! Thank you for the idea and details!!! Coco xxx
How you paint yucky white acrylic over those gorgeous alchohol ink patterns is beyond me. That's one of the things I find hardest about this sort of project but boy don't you always pull it off! Dawn is a lucky girl :-)
