After colouring the dragonflies I carefully fussy cut them out. The circle die with the leaves is by Alexandra Renke and is cut twice to add a little height.
I've used a Stamplorations stencil to add some texture paste in the middle of the die for interest. The sentiment is from the same set as the dragonflies, heat embossed in white onto black card stock.
A small amount of sparkle has been added to the wings after gently curling around a pencil.
