Never Hide your Wings!

Time for our monthly challenge over at


 It took several goes to finally create something this month.
Nothing seemed to work out but this came together in the end.

I started my background with some light stencilling,
adding torn dp. I love working with corrugated board so 
that was next then some scrunched thick brown paper.
A tiny white frame was cut to encase my dragonfly.
The top part of the dragonfly was cut ever so carefully with
purple tissue paper, adding a tiny gem. Behind the brown paper
is a strip of dp for added effect.
My go to posca splatters were flicked then some matt wax
Added a cardboard circle and button
with some purple thread.
To finish - an appropriate sentiment.
Attached to thick corrugated cardboard that was also
coloured with wax.

Just a couple of photos...



Head over and check how the Team got creative
and pop yours in the gallery for us to check out.
Thanks for popping in.

Love this Ina - you certainly got there in the end. I love that corrugated card and always mean to use some and always forget! I love the way that dragon fly has been framed - it really draws our focus in .
