I chose to use a background stamp by Crafty Individuals (CI- 409) and used it to create both background and focal image by using soft lavender and dark black to stamp the dragonflies.
The colours have been applied with Gelatos, in Lavender, Violet, and a Blue.
I added some yellow Gelato around the dragonflies but kept everything quite subtle because I didn't want this page to interfere with what when on before....
[The May page is on acetate and June will show through in places].
Thanks for coming by,
Also entering the Penny Black and more challenge.
