Inspired by Tim's March tag I used his technique of adding gold textured embossing to the background and layered other elements over it.
When finished I added this to my collage and mixed media album.

The colours and dreams of dragonflies in the garden gives me the promise of some warm lazy days near a pond or our local canal and perhaps a picnic with the grandchildren. We are very lucky to have a very large park which we call The Lodge near us which backs onto the Basingstoke Canal and is perfect for walks on a lovely summer day.
There are more details at the CVC project blog if you would like to see them.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Aaah, summer - that long anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It's a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.

Hi Brenda, gorgeous card there's something about turqoise it just always looks fantastic and works so well with other colours too.
The dragonfly has always been one of my favourites from the Tim Holtz range so what more can I say... just love it all!

Stunning colours and design Brenda. Going to pop over and see how you did the dragonfly! Nxxx
When this popped up in my reader it was the colours that drew me in - they are glorious - as is the whole card! Hugs, Anne xx
Gorgeous piece, Brenda. Love the colours and the dragonfly, plus all the gold embossing. Sure hope the weather warms up soon here. The weather man keeps promising, but it seems to keep getting pushed out, day by day. So tired of winter garments.
