Capture Life's Moments with ColourArte

Hello Colourarte-ists!  I want to share a quick and inexpensive project with you today.  I started this project with a wooden frame from the Dollar Store that I had previously altered.  I was not very pleased with how it turned out, so I saved it for another day. 

When I saw this beautiful dragonfly die by Tim Holtz, I just knew I wanted to use it for this project.  This time of year,  here in the mid-south, the dragonflies are everywhere.  I love watching them flit about.  So that was my inspiration for this piece.

I made a short video tutorial for you.
