Step 13- You should have 4-5 Double Dragonflies with Rhinestones as well as  4-5 single plain Dragonflies.

Arrange your Dragonflies on top of the textured paper so you can plan where you will attach them. If you need to make more do so now. If you would like to add a greeting sticker, save a place for this as well.  

Step 14-Using tweezers, pick up one of the Dragonfles and apply glue to the  back of it , including the wings. Carefully place it in position on your card.

Step 15-  Repeat for all other Dragonflies. Allow to dry.

Step 16-Sepearte the wings on each of  the double Dragonflies by lifting them upwards. 

 Alternatively you could have all your dragonflies double if you wish. You could add glitter to the wings as well as the textured paper. You can achieve a similar effect using a butterfly punch.
