Anisoptera in June ...

Dragonflies (order Odonata) are divided into two distinct sub-orders, the Zygoptera or Damselflies, and the Anisoptera or Dragonflies.

The current Craft Barn calendar challenge words are lavender and dragonfly.

I lightly brayered Fresco paint over the 10 x 8 card, and, using the same paint colours, did a little random circle stamping.

Then die-cut and embossed a couple of dragonflies from a piece of card I had pre-sprayed, followed by some gilding wax.

Dragonflies are such beautiful, ethereal creatures, I wrote a Haiku (Japanese poem).

Dragonfly wings beat
Providing summer's soft wind
with a helping hand

Happiness is the sun on my face.
