Step 1 of 5

Distress the edges of this painted mount with your scissors.

Step 2 of 5

Lightly stamp the Dragonfly, in Smoky Grey, coming on to the lower edges of the painted mount. 

Step 3 of 5

Mask off the "reflective" element of this dancer, ink the main image in Midnight ink, remove the masking tape and stamp as though he's dancing on the Dragonfly wings. 

Use a white gel pen to add accents and highlights to the silhouette image. 

Step 4 of 5

Stamp your sentiment with the Midnight ink, so it appears he's dancing on it. 

Step 5 of 5

Adhere your artwork to the card blank, to complete. 

You made it!
