Pond Life For You

Two challenges have inspired my card this morning, CASology, where the cue is 'Pond' and Less is More where it's a colour challenge, asking for blue and green - well you get the connection, don't you! It's the first time I've entered the LIM challenge, although I often take a look at the cards other crafters submit and am in awe of the brilliant ideas. Anyway, this is my offering:

I started by creating a pond with Pool Party and Lucky Limeade inks, applied through a mask which i made from my oval punch. then I created a lily pad with a circle and a daisy punch.  I cut out a section from the circle to resemble the leaf and curled up the petals on the daisy so that they are more 'lily-like'. I added a couple of dragonflies, the large one I stamped in Pool Party and overstamped in Lucky Limeade to try to get an irridescent effect.  A small sentiment also from SU and I double scored around the edge of the card to make a frame (I did this by hand as I don't have a scoring board, but I might get one now I've tried it!).
