D is for Distressed

Good morning , thanks for your visit.
Today at Alphabet Challenges a new challenge begins

Please visit the blog to see the ideas of the DT.
For my 6" sq  card I covered it with paper I had created
Using sprays and Moonglow Starburst Mica Paints.
Using Distress inks - Cracked Pistachio - Fossilized Amber
and Mermaid Lagoon I covered the white card,
then bleached  by sprinkling water over the
 coloured card, then patted it dry,
sponging over again with the same colours.
The stamp - Dragonfly Botanical from The Stampman,
stamped with Black Soot DI then clear embossed.
I stamped the dragonfly wings again onto

the wings onto the dragonfly.
