Butterflies or Insects

What would you class a dragonfly as?  Does it fall in the same category as a Butterfly or is it an insect?  Anyway, am sure it will do for the Lots to Do Challenge this week.

A bit of an unusual image, and I have no idea where it came from but I can tell you it is blue rubber!  Chas shuddered when he saw it - guess it is not pretty like most of the images you can get but I thought it was different and there would not be another in the challenge like it.

Stamped and embossed in black on white cardstock, I painted the leaves and stem with a mix of greens that I had scribbled onto a margarine tub lid (my palette when using Caran D'Ache) and then painted the wings with a couple of Twinkling H2o's to get a greeny blue colour.  I don't often mix the twinkling colours with flat ones but felt that the wings needed some sparkle.

For the background I stamped all over black cardstock with a Bolio and Versamark ink and then used Duo Blue Pearlex to brush over the top.  The thought behind this was that it would be similar to the wings of the dragonfly.  Finally mounted the whole on a Teal card and there it is - my entry this week.
