Hi everyone, thank you so much for the wonderful comments last week. I
am enjoying these challenges immensely! A chance to make mini works of
art and a theme to send you spinning in different directions every week!
This week it had to be the dragonfly for me. I just love their iridescence and to see them flitting above the water. Hearing the hum of their delicate wings as they skim the sparkly surface of the river

I took photos as I made this tag so I thought I would make a mini
tutorial. I wanted to share how I made the Lily (no punches required)
and my dragonfly. The first one I made was too big so I am going to pop
him somewhere in my craft room. The tutorial can be found here if you are interested
TUTORIAL
My dragonflies wings are made from some kind of spongy foam sheet that they put between crockery when they pack it. It was perfect for the gossamer wings. I want to try to make flowers with it next

Another view to show the dimension of the tag. I found these cute
little beads in my stash that add great texture to my watery tag. The
sprayed background tag was one I discarded from last week as it was
lighter than I wanted - this week it was perfect! How's that for being
green! Off now to have a leisurely look at what you have all been
making for this weeks Tag Tuesday
Gorgeous tag, Helen! The water lily is great in relief with the dragonfly coming out of the tag even further.
