Oh no this is not yellow & gray but Pantone colors of the year ” Illuminating & Ultimate Gray “. The image is from Free SVG with a search of butterflies but Terry thinks this is a dragonfly. I think maybe he is right. I printed in the gray on white Text Vellum. Colored with marker in the yellow and water color to shade in the gray. Cut a paper stencil and dabbed Mod Podge on wings then sprinkled with glitter. Once dry I added details with black and white gel pens. Smeared thin coat on entire surface of clear gesso, trimmed to fit and mounted on gray cs mat on white cs base with Silhouette cut die.
I ended up with several variations of this image, looking for the just right details. Which do you like best?


I am so happy with the glitter, especially with the clear gesso, no stray glitter flying around. I had spent some time yesterday cutting several different boarders and now have them in a binder for easy access.

Both are awesome and would agree that it’s a dragonfly. The depth you achieved on the wings look like tapestry work. If I really had to choose, the top one looks more elegant.

These all look great! Love the shine you added to the wings. I really like the yellow panel you added on the last one and the die cut stiching to anchor it.

I also agree that it looks like a dragonfly. It is a very pretty image. I like all of yours versions, but I think the center one is my favorite, though no particular reason why.
