Bonus points for using Dreamweaver and/or Stampendous product in your work of heart.)

Pam here once again, with a card that I created while in the UK a couple of years ago. Lynell and I were playing with doing a resist technique. The Dreamweaver Dragonfly was stamped on glossy white cardstock with watermark ink, and various shades of Splendor ink were daubed over the surface. When wiped with a soft cloth, the dragonflies resisted the ink. Over the top, I paste-embossed the Daisy Background using Translucent paste which allows the Dragonflies to still be seen, and from the side, you see the texture and design of the daisies. Almost has a batik look to it. The background panel was machine-embossed with the Daisy Background, and with the stencil still in place, was ink-stenciled with the same Splendor inks as the focal panel. Over the top, the inked areas were embossed with Stampendous Clear Embossing Powder in a one-step cloisonne technique. Two paper flowers were inked as well, layered and adhered for the perfect frou frou element.
