Big Wing Hugs

Good morning!  It is freezing here in Texas, and we will be below freezing temps all week.  Brrrrrrr!  I'm ready for some spring weather!

Today I'm sharing the second card that I created with the new Wing Close Up stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  This is a gorgeous stencil and I wanted to use it in a way that would show off the beautiful iridescence that you see on dragonfly wings.  I brushed some pale blue and green inks over the stencil onto some white cardstock first.  While the stencil was still taped down, I then spread some iridescent paste (Picket Fence Studios) over the entire piece.  Then I removed the stencil and let the panel dry completely.  Meanwhile, I brushed some blue ink onto a scrap piece of white cardstock and then covered it with the same iridescent paste and set it aside to dry.  When this blue piece was completely dry, I die cut the sentiment, glued it to a vellum shadow, and affixed it to the wing background.  This panel was then adhered to a white card base.
