Morning - I have made this card for the Welshies in my life. Wed 1st March is St Davids Day and what image would be better than a big red Welsh Dragon. This is an image called BBQ Dragon from Dr Digi,
Now don't be confusing this with me supporting the Welsh rugby team - I definitely do not!! (Come on England!) But my Godchildren live in Wales and try to teach me Welsh words but I've not picked up many that are useful!
I wanted to keep it white and green across the background so at to represent the Welsh Flag. I due cut the green patterned paper from American crafts Colour of memories collection using a MFT stitched edge boarder. The white paper is Swiss Dot from Bazzill and I also used this to die cut the clouds.
I mounted both pieces onto red mirri card and tied red twine around the - securing with a bow and then a little wooden die cut heard from Wycinanka. I used yellow and orange peel stickles on the flames to make them sparkle, along with silver pen on the spear. Finally I added three little yellow resin flowers that were the closest thing I had to Daffodils in my stash!!
I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image -
Dragon - Red, Poppy, Ruby, Cardinal Red & Burgundy.
Flames - Summer Sun, Sunflower, Gold & Bright Orange.
Chicken - Tan, Raw Sienna & Cinnamon.
There is some big news coming later this week so stay tuned for that!! I know - I'm teasing you!
Have a lovely Sunday,

BBQ Dragon - it's all about the scales.
How's things Monkey Mates? Todays post is for the latest inspiration for the I Love Promarkers challenge and this fortnights theme is Anything Goes. We all love them! And the sponsor is my favourite medic - Dr Digi and I have chosen to use this image called BBQ Dragon
Now I've wanted to play with this image for a little while but was lacking inspiration as to what to do with him... Then I saw a post over at Janey's Card... and it was all about using Liquid pearls with stencils.... the texture and dimension made my creative juice started to flow!! I thought it would make a great background to look like scales so here it is... It was really simple once Janey had provided the inspiration and I literally squirted Lime green liquid pearls over a Kaisercraft stencil and used my finger to spread it around and fill all the little nooks and crannies. It's not perfect - a few bits bled through but I'm really happy with it and think its pretty effective. Sooo my thanks to Janey!! Take a look at her tutorial - its much more eloquent than I could ever be!
There aren't many other ingredients to this card - I mounted the textured panel onto orange Bazzill card and I cut around the image using my Friskars cutter before fussy cutting around the rest of the dragon. I used silver pen on the image to colour the lance and some stickles called Orange peel on to the flames. I added some blue ribbon from American crafts and finally a few orange sequins from Doodlebug.
I used these promarkers & flexmarkers -
Dragon - Pale Citrus, Lime Zest, Lime Green, Pear Green & Marsh Green.
Dragons Belly - Powder Blue, Cloud Blue & True Blue.
Chicken, horns & lance - Raw Sienna, Cinnamon & Oatmeal
Flames - Bright Orange, Yellow & Sunset Red.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Fab N Funky - All Creatures great and small.
Country View Challenges - Make your own background.
Cardz 4 Guyz - Make it sparkle or shine
Ellibelles - Critters and creatures
Get Creative - Fantasy / mythology.
Right all for me for now ... Speak to you all again very soon,
