Freshly Made Sketches #682 and Color Throwdown #831

I fiddled around for a long time before I came up with something for Freshly Made Sketches and I'm still not sure I like what I did.   

I went through a lot of my patterned paper and fell in love with this one from a Color Wash pack from years ago.  I cut it apart and used different corners of the 6 by 6 piece to make the background.  The dragonfly is from Honey Bee, embossed in silver and colored with DI.  This is the second one I made since the first one didn't show up well.  The sentiment from the same set is also embossed in silver. 

I'm glad I went to see the challenge at Color Throwdown before I finalized my post.  Glory be, they are asking for sage green, yellow and coral.  I see tones of that in the background but I also painted the wings with Scattered Straw and Abandoned Coral.  I hope their DT thinks this qualifies. 

I'm so glad you dropped by.  Have a good weekend!
