For my background I did some smooshing with a piece of acetate and Turquoise Sea and Lucky Clover inks (Gina K), and then when dry added the Script (retired SU! background stamp) over the top with Delicata Silver Shimmer ink. I used an oval die on my top panel and then ran it through my machine with SU!'s Subtle embossing folder, before adding foam strips to the back and adding to my card base.
This close up shows the shimmer a bit better of the Magicals on the dragonfly and the silver Delicata ink in the background. I added a few PFS Iridescent Clear Gems and a silver foiled sentiment to finish off this CAS card.
We have lots of beautiful inspiration to share with you from the DT and our Special GD Tenia using these colors, so check it all out right HERE and then play along with us...we'd love to see YOU in the gallery! This challenge is open till Thursday, March 14th @ 9:00AM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Wonderful color combo & I love how you used it, Marcia! What a stunning background with the smooshed colors and text; I'm in love with that dragonfly too - so pretty in the oval window!!
You already know how much I adore your little 'hitchhiker' right? I'm still amazed by the delicata silver ink - I might need a new one, or a reinker?
SO very beautiful, Marcia!

Wow, so delicate looking and gorgeous!
So soft and pretty, Marcia. This would make a great sympathy card.
This is so softly pretty in the colors Marcia! A wonderful Smooshed background with the shimmery text. The subtle embossed panel die cut with the oval is beautiful raised up over the background and how nice to use a previously made background with the Magicals for that jumbo dragonfly! And guess what - I FINALLY tried out my Glimmer foiling machine and have actually made some sentiments and backgrounds with it! It's only been a year of so since I purchased it! Thanks for your encouragement to play with it!) Julia xx
You had me at the dragonfly, Marcia! Love his sparkly wings! And that background is beautifully framed and a perfect landing spot for Mr. Dragonfly! And AWESOME card, my friend!
What a fortunate find -- an already made panel in your amazing colors, and the dragonfly is right at home in the colors. Very pretty!
Sigh... this is EXTRA special, Marcia. I think it might just be a favorite from you and trust me there are many. So PRETTY, my friend!
What a lucky find in your stash Marcia, looks so pretty in the colours. We wont be seeing any real ones for sometime around here! I too have been playing with my Glimmer, producing a stack of sentiments to use, even used the waste to create another set too! :)
What a wonderful color combo, and I just love how you used it! The scripty background is always a favorite of mine and add that oversized dragon fly as a focal point and you've got yourself a winner. This is so very pretty!!
Marcia, these soft hues of turquoise and green are so beautiful! I love the smooshed background with the silver text--so very lovely. And that jumbo dragonfly is one of my faves and a great focal point. The three clear gems are a perfect embellishment! Such a wonderful card!
I love the soothing hues and the soft background, Marcia! So glad you've put the found piece to use, beautifully! With sprakle and the dragonfly, it is stunning!
This is an all-time favorite color combo. Marcia, I gasp at the beauty of your card. The Lindy's, the dragonfly, script, everything works together so divinely. The whole is a lovely clean look, but there is a lot of detail in the making. I love it!
Marcia! Lovely card and I just that dragonfly and his sparkly wings! The background is beautifully done. Fantastic card and use of the colors. Have a great weekend.
I love Lindy's Magical Powders and you've shown how truly wonderful they are with your beautiful dragonfly wings. What a stunning card design, Marcia, I am swooning over it! When I saw your card, I thought the script stamp might be that retired SU one. It's a beauty and looks so pretty in the silver ink.
Gorgeous card, my friend!
Marcia, this is one fabulously gorgeous card. You've showcased the colors nicely.
Amazing card and perfect in these colours Marcia! xx
I love your card Marcia. Your smooshed background with the script stamped over it is lovely and the pretty dragonfly tops it off perfectly.
Your sparkly-winged dragonfly is beautiful and oh, what a lovely stage you've created for him to star on. The framing and script are wonderful touches. Fabulous showcase of turquoise and green!

Marcia, oh my goodness I love seeing what you do with every card! This is so gorgeous, the lovely background you smooshed with acetate and the lovely script set the scene for your darling dragonfly that (once again) I may need to get. I love it all! xo
WOW--definitely a favorite card! Absolutely love everything about it--not the least being your use of 2 Magicals I own! Really adore the background and need to remember to use my Delicata silver like you did! Pinning this one!
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! I've used the Jumbo Dragonfly on my card, too, and that's because I recently found a bunch that were already cut and colored. I love your smooshed background--perfect for your handsome critter.
Love that your dragonfly and background both have the same beautiful colors. Such a beautiful card, Marcia. So much texture with the script background and the embossed card front.
Wow! So many wonderful details to look at on this breathtaking card. Sorry I'm late to the commenting party....
