The Mixed Media Card Challenge #26 ~ Just Because

I made a card for this month's Mixed Media Card Challenge where the challenge is rainbows with optional dragonflies
 
I used distress inks for my background, spritzed it with water, and added light molding paste through a stencil for texture.

The dragonfly was stamped with Versamark and clear embossing powder to make it shiny.  I used the lines on the edge of the stamp to make a frame around the card. 
 
I had so much fun making THIS rainbow card that I decided to make another one.
On this card my rainbow is more subtle only using yellow, orange, and a plum spray.
This card made me happy so that is the sentiment I used!
I hope you like them!
