Fab Friday 100 FMS 261

There is something special about 100. Possibly it's because I come from a household where cricket is an important sport - or maybe not - but it was hard to pass up a challenge with 100 in it. Added to that, the fact that the colour challenge at Fab Friday is absolutely gorgeous made this challenge irresistible!

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.


Further update: Happy to be in the Fab Four at Fab Friday.
