It actually looks more vibrant and sparkly in real life! The background is Picked Raspberry and Ripe Persimmon Distress Inks which I have pounced on to the background with my Distress tool in a kind of checker board pattern for something different. I sprayed the whole background with water, let it sit for a few seconds then dried it with kitchen roll. The stamping is all done with black Versafine ink. All the stamps are by IndigoBlu and are from Nature 1 and Nature 2 except the dragonfly which came free with a magazine but is still IndigoBlu. I added Gold stickles on the flower heads and Turquoise and Eucalyptus to the dragonfly. There is a little Black Soot Distress Ink around the edge then I mounted the piece on a black card base to make it pop.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Artful Times - Hot Pink and Orange
IndigoBlu - Just One Layer
