room. I don't remember posting it before so Thought I would add it now.
It's pretty straight forward just card in layers until you come to the top layer.
Here I sponged the blue background using a piece of torn paper as a mask to create the clouds. Gently sponging from the torn paper over the jagged edge to smear ink onto the whisper white card. I kept moving the mask and repeating the process until the entire card was covered in clouds.
Once happy with the clouds I stamped the dragon fly ( from the Natures nest set of stamps from SU) in two places directly over the clouds.
Using the fine end of the stamp and write markers I coloured in the bodies of the dragon flies.
Now for the tricky bit,..... Sorry, I mean the wings. I used a small piece of White card stock about 3" x 4" as I only wanted two pairs of wings and maybe a spare bit to allow for mistakes.
I took a tiny amount amount of White Frost Shimmer Paint (and I mean a tiny amount You really don't need much paint for this affect.) What's in the lid after it's been shaken is enough. I scrunched up a some cling film into a loose ball, so it had lots of folds and creases in it. Dabbed it into the shimmer paint then onto the white card, dabbing lightly all over until I had a fairly even mottled pearly effect all over the white card.

I allowed the paint to dry thoroughly then sponged small patches of Tempting Turquoise and Pale Plum inks covering the entire card.
Once I was happy with the effect I inked the top half of the dragonfly with Stazon ink and stamped over painted card stock. Then cut out the wings applied glue and stuck them over the wings I had stamped onto the sponged background.
For a little extra glitz I added a crystal to the body of the Dragonfly.
