Tips from the show

• Use both left and right dies separately to create a proper reflection without an ugly cut edge.
• Uncoated watercolour papers can be stamped, sanded, or run through embossing folders for added texture.
• You can place the dragonfly inside the card as a surprise element rather than on the front if preferred.
