A DRAGONFLY IN INDIGO

Good day to you and I have a new card that was created with the Touches of Texture stamp set and some Island Indigo watercoloring!

I used the Island Indigo ink pad and an Aqua Painter to apply the background effect onto shimmery white card stock.  Then added the blooms using the masking technique.  The dragonfly was coloured with an aqua painter and ink pads as well and popped up with stampin’ dimensionals.  The birthday greeting from Best Birds finishes this card off perfectly!

TIP:  Sometimes, when watercoloring, the card stock will curl at the edges to I used Tear & Tape Adhesive for a better bond.
