I've teamed this up with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, because I liked that too.
This colour combination was recently used at another challenge. Nice for me that it's appeared again, as I had two ideas the first time round. It's been very satisfying to have a reason to develop the second.
The dragonfly has a vellum underwing that I've coloured Delightful Dijon and then applied Wink of Stella to the front side, although that is quite hard to see in the photo. I added the gold metallic shapes, instead of the rhinestones that I'd originally planned, because they picked up the Delightful Dijon better.
Update: Delighted to be a Perfectly Made Princess at Freshly Made Sketches.
Further update: Happy to be in the Fab Four at Fab Friday.
