Here is a side view:

She is coloured with my usual mediums (Copics and Polychromos pencils).  I love sparkle so I applied clear Wink of Stella to all the dragonflies' wings.  I wanted to add some dragonflies to my card so I printed out the image twice.  I fussy cut, and coloured, the two dragonflies above the image. The flower is handmade.  That's it for today.  Have a happy day.  Hugs, Lori xx

Materials and Tools Used

Base:     Marianne Creatables "Fancy Edge with Lattice" die LR0202

Flower:  Cricut "Plantin" cartridge

Floss, pearl flourish, Swarovski crystal and pearls are from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated.

It certainly feels like autumn here today.  It's 52 degrees (11 degrees C).  Oh my!  Here is a little DT inspiration for you on this cloudy and cool morning.  This card is for Ching-Chou Kuik's Facebook Challenge which runs until the end of this month.  
https://www.facebook.com/groups/chingchoukuikdigitalstamps/ 

You can win some lovely images.  The theme is "Autumn" and I chose "Autumn Dragonflies", found here:

I have coloured this beauty with my Copic markers and FC Polychromos pencils.  

Here is a close-up:
