To me, dragonflies are mysterious. They dart here and there with their varied wing patterns. They catch the light, making them look iridescent. I watch them from my window at times.
I made a tag for my challenges today.
I started with a coffee-stained sheet of watercolor paper and cut it down. Then, I die cut T!m Holtz's Wildflower Stems #1 and, using my water brush, colored them with Distress Ink Mustard Seed, Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs. Next, I stamped the dragonfly (Stampabilities) directly onto the tag with Versafine Onyx. I arranged the Stems around the image and glued them into position. Finally, I added a recycled sari yarn into a hole I had punched.

DeleteThis is lovely - the soft neutral of the background is gorgeous (I'm with you on the coffee-drinking rather than tea... the only thing I use teabags for is crafting!), and the use of those lovely delicate wildflower stems. Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey.
