Scary Dragon!!

Welcome again - this is the last card in a roll - I should be doing some DT work, but I can't get into my studio for various reasons, so I finished this one off at the dining room table, having started it yesterday!


I needed a card for a six year old - I know he loves dinosaurs, but the only dinosaur image I have, I used on his card last year, but he is a lovely young man and will think the dragon is pretty good too.


I coloured up this image from Dustin Pike's Doodle Dragon Studio using glitter pens and crayons -  then mounted him on two ovals, which as you can see both have some glimmer and shine to them.


The punched 'picket fence' border is one that I was sent in a RAK from  Lovely Linda, I threaded some plastic strands through it for extra fun.


I decided that I wanted a dimensional card, so I made an adapted easel card.


The sentiment is from Kiwistamping - I gold embossed it then coloured the letters with the same glitter pens that I used on the main image, cut it with a Nestie classic oval lg, and sponged it with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink. Placed some lengths of the plastic thread under it, and added the buttons and the card was finished.

I am linking this to:

    Darling- how fun! I love the 'glitz' you added- the gold layer is so fun and love the shimmery weaving through the fence. Any 6 yr old I know would absolutely love this fun card!

    Maxine, hi and I'm so glad I stopped by today to see this card. It looks like you just had fun coloring! This is fabulous and I love what you did to the fence and I just love everything about this card. The buttons are really great how you placed them, their colors and designs. God bless you! PS: Love the swirls on your Feel Good Flowers too.
