CAS Mix-Up June 2021

I have already entered a card at CAS Mix-Up that I actually made for another challenge.  I had in mind something else so I have a second card for their 'watercolor - flight' challenge

 A dragonfly is a symbol of change, transformation and self-realization.
It teaches us to love life, to rejoice and have faith even amidst difficulties. 


I recently purchased this dragonfly stamp/die from Hero Arts which includes the sentiment.  Truth be told I actually got it for this challenge but also because I love dragonflies and their symbolism.   The background is acetate smooshing with Catherine Pooler inks and the dragonfly is colored with the same ink.  

Thanks for dropping by.

I love the smooshed background for this delicate dragonfly! It's interesting to see the variety in dragonfly stamps; I have many. :-) Beautiful card (I hadn't thought of using a dragonfly for a sympathy card.)
