Ink Blending and Die Cutting - Dragonfly

I love playing with Tim Holtz Products!

Today i would love to share two things with you!

First, i would like to share how i created this ink blended clouds/water background!

You can watch the tutorial on YouTube here!

This is what i used to make the base of my card!

Once i created the inked background, i decided to pull out this fun die called, 

Tim Holtz Sizzix - Splat 664159

It looks just like a splat of paint!

I chose to create an artist "swamp".

Next i chose to use - Tim Holtz Sizzix - Geo Insects (dragonfly)

I inked the paper with Black Soot and clear embossed it.

I double it up with tracing paper vellum and embossed that with Ranger's Embossing Powder - Bridal Tinsel.

Check out my YouTube Tutorial here to see how to make this card.

Here is a list of supplies i used:
