Today's sketch is from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #335, and I'm totally matching it with the butterflies and dragonflies theme at SU Only #181! As you can guess from the title, I decided to play with my Wink of Stella today - it seemed a natural fit with the sparkly jewel tones of a dragonfly I was going for. After coloring and cutting out my dragonfly, I started in with the clear Wink of Stella on the wings. It shows up pretty well in person, in a certain light, but I wanted something more, and the lower part of the card front looked kind of plain. What about some spatter? I made a bit of a mess on my desk, but I'm happy with the results: I over-squeezed my pen, then snapped the saturated barrel over my finger to get some flicking going - hopefully it doesn't look like I sneezed on my card, lol...

I love the double ribbon you gave your dragonfly to rest on. And for the record, I LOVE to "wink" on most of my projects. Oh, and spatter, yep, that too. Thanks for playing along with the SUO Challenge.
