My eldest granddaughter (the one I hoped and prayed would be a girl after having only grandsons prior to her birth) turns 18 next month! How is that even possible? I'm not that far from 18 myself, am I? :-D Well, whatever, she's also the one who adores dragons and even though 18 means being an adult, it doesn't mean we have to leave childhood entirely behind so this dragon (from A Day for Daisies) seemed perfect for a birthday card.
I colored the dragon with my ProMarkers, die cut him with a die from Spellbinders, and matted it with dark blue CS, trimmed to fit. The diagonal orange strip is actually patterned paper and both it and the argyle diamond paper came from a pad by Paper Studio. The roses were in my stash and I simply twisted them together and curled their stems. The bow is one I made weeks ago and tossed in my stash for future use. This time, I left it white.

Someone peeking over my shoulder just asked, "Is that about 'How to Train Your Dragon'?" Having raised my share of kids and grandkids, I know it's all about the training - - dragons or otherwise. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
