As some of you know (if you visit my blog with any regularity), I have a granddaughter who shares my great love of dragons and I've been using any excuse (birthday, Christmas, Easter, Summer Solstice, start or end of Daylight Savings time, etc.) to send her dragon cards for most of her 22 years now. Yes, she still loves them even as an adult. So, this one will be her Halloween card this year.
It's colored with ProMarkers and gel pens, then cut and embossed with Sue Wilson dies. The background papers are scraps from a Recollections stack. The lace strip was in my stash and has been enhanced with suede strips before adhering it diagonally across the card front. The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.
I was influenced by the sketch at Paperminutes,
adjusted for a square card.
I did reverse the diagonal line and used a square shape
instead of a circle.

NanaConnie, what a precious card. DD15 loves dragons as well. How did you get the glow effect halo? Cheers, MK
MK, I colored it first with a neon yellow ProMarker, then colored over it with a white gel pen, leaving the neon yellow to barely show along the inside and outside edges of it. The 'glow' effect is simply a matter of not having sharp edges but thank you. :-D
Wow this looks amazing your colouring of the dragon is awesome a fantastic creation, I wanted to thank you for your comment on my blog I can't believe 2 Crafty Critters is closing it is so sad to see such a wonderful animal friendly challenge blog close.
