I decided to have a go at this challenge, as a few of the cards I've made lately have a lot of white space ( a requirement), and have been almost one layer, with no embellishments (another requirement, the no embellies). The only other part of the brief is to use Yellow & Green this week.So I resist embossed some Dragonflies again, ( Clear embossing ink and WOW Bright White EP), and sponged on Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Di's, along with Adirondack Citrus, then Mowed Lawn, Shabby Shutters and a little Peeled Paint.This time I tried it without masking the Dragonflies to overstamp the water Droplets , in Mowed Lawn. It works well, as when you wipe any ink off the Dragonflies, the droplets seem to be behind their wings. One tip, if you use DI to stamp the droplets with, blot them with a piece of kitchen towel first before wiping over the embossing, as the DI stays wet a bit longer than normal ink, and will smudge. This strip was the second attempt- I tried embossing with a sparkly white EP the first time.
It doesn't look too bad in this picture, but up close, some of the EP rubbed off with the sponging. I also used Designs by Ryn Raindrops on this one. But I have a plan for it, so all is not wasted.
Supplies:
Papermania Urban Stamps, Dragonflies
Designs by Ryn, Raindrops and Water Droplets
WOW Bright White EP
Clear embossing pad/Versamark pad
DI in Squeezed lemonade, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint,Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn

I meant to put this in yesterdays post- the desk in mid-create!
