Damselfly

Damselfly, a photo by HikerCynthia on Flickr.

This photo is another in a series of pictures I took on July 4 at one of my favorite places to hike.

As I was carefully picking my way down some wet stairs to the river, this gorgeous Damselfly posed long enough for me to get a really lovely closeup shot.

I wanted to keep the page simple, so I used very few colors, layers and embellishments. The background paper is from my very-loved and getting very-overused Little Yellow Bicycle line called Fern and Forest. This is the B side.

The yellows and greens are mostly from LYB's Poppy line. I love how even though the two lines are verrrry different, they still coordinate nicely!

I cut up a page of Doodlebug Designs' chevron strips and used them for the top and bottom border.

A bit of cork, some punched shapes, a Chit Chat sticker from Tim Holtz, and a snippet of left over paper that I punched stars from....and I was done!

Well...except for the title. Did you notice that my "s" is backwards? Actually, it's not an "s." It's an upside-down question mark. I had every letter in this so perfect dark sparkly teal set EXCEPT the "s" so I just made do.

And I'm totally OK with it.


Thanks so much for dropping in today and have a happy Monday!!
