Country Dragonfly with Case This Sketch #355

I love CAS card sketches and the current one from Case This Sketch enabled me to ink up several new stamps and one previously unused stamp.  Country Dragonfly and the sentiment from Spruced Up Cardmaking are new and the ink spots are from the Strokes of An Artist stamp set which I've had for months.  I used second generation Lagoon ink for the bigger ink spot and first generation Lagoon Ink for the smaller ink spots.  The sentiment and dragonfly were stamped in Sapphire Ink.  A Purple Tri-Blend marker was used to color in the dragonfly which was popped up with 3D Foam Dots.

Here is the fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout:
