Hello!

I'm back today to share a mixed media creation featuring Melina's gorgeous dragonfly stamp which is one of my absolute favourite images which I know will get inked up a lot as I love it so much.

What I Did:

My substrate here is one of the gorgeous MDF skinnies, in this case the 6 x 6 one as I find squares are my main go to shape. I assembled the skinnie first, gluing it all together with That's Crafty! Multi Purpose Adhesive, using the pen form which is perfect for gluing MDF substrates together.

I covered the skinnie with a piece of background paper that I made using one of the new masks with a mix of flat matte and lustre sprays. I began with aqua flat matte spray, followed by basil and then finished off with aqua and lilac lustre sprays. There is shimmer although you can't see it that well in the photo. It ended up quite grungy too but I like the watery effect it gave.

I stamped the dragonfly with black ink on spray overflow paper in shades of orange and green, heat embossing the image with sparkly embossing powder. I then cut the image out. I stamped the text from the stamp set with black ink and cut it into separate word tiles. I glued this in place and added the dragonfly next to it.

I felt my panel needed an extra something but as I didn't have any waterlilies (as I do now!), I stamped one of the grunge flowers on reddish orange spray overflow paper and cut the images in half, gluing them across the base to finish.
