Sharing a quick
card I made last night featuring the super cute image, Tori the Dragon Up, by Conie Fong.
To put my card
together I’ve followed the current sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch. The balloons in the image were perfectly
placed to use as the three flower elements after flipping the sketch on its
side. Wasn’t till I started putting the card together that I realised I should
have flipped the image too so the balloons were on the right side! I was going to partial die cut my image but
couldn’t get all the bits to fit into the rectangle die so I fussy cut the
image and die cut the rectangle from a piece of G45 paper featuring the words
from ‘Twinkle, twinkle, little star’.
To finish off I added
in a chippie from Uniquely Creative for the sentiment, which has a lovely
glittery sparkle thanks to a coat of embossing powder from Bellbird Paperarts. Now I have to admit, at the late hour I was
making this last night my limited ability to do anything with colours was even
more constrained. So I googled the image
and found a wonderful colouring of another of Conie’s dragons from a talented
crafted called Nancy, who very kindly gave her colour palette on her blog post. Love the colour combo she used and the stipple
technique in colouring the image so I gladly CASed it on mine. I’ve given the colours below but do stop by
Nancy’s blog and check out all her wonderful work.
There’s a fun
challenge I’ve not played at before called Double Trouble and this round they’re
asking you to use at least three colours, got more than that so check, and stamped
or digital image, got one of them too so that’s a double tick. They also add in options, like this time
where they ask for a punny sentiment. I couldn’t
manage that, well, I suppose I could have but that would have taken more
thought than I could muster late last night!
Then they also offer a double dare, this time it’s to also enter the challenge
at Brown Sugar following their theme of a creature. Well, that was too easy given I’ve used my
dragon image so I’ve managed two out of three of the challenge themes, pretty
happy about that for a first-time entry.
