I started with my alcohol inks and blended together Willow, Juniper, Blending Solution and created a background on glossy cardstock. After the background dries, stamp script using StaZon blue solvent ink. The dragonflies are stamped on light blue cardstock with green ink. Little glitter and some pearls and the dragonflies are ready to take flight. :)
