Dragons are mighty and fearsome creatures, but they are also as full of curiosity as any kitten you've ever met. This young dragon is experiencing his first ever Christmas and the glimmering gold star on the Christmas tree apparently caught his eye. Whether he just wanted to taste it or if he's trying to claim it for his own toy box may never be known, but the result is some unintended UNdecorating of the tree. :-D
This image is from a digital coloring book (all lovely grayscale images), reduced in size, printed on water color paper, and colored with water color paints. The highlights on the snow (on the tree) and the ornaments were done with a white gel pen. The fur on the dragon's Santa hat was made using SnowTex and it's dimensional.
I cut the image and the frame for it with dies from QuicKutz. The sentiment was cut with an Avery Elle die. The background CS was embossed using a Sizzix EF. I added a wrap of sheer ribbon with glitter spots on it, giving the card a bit of sparkle. As a final embellishment, I added some Jolee's snowflakes.
Hope you enjoyed the quick lesson about dragons. :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Connie, what a wonderful job you did water coloring this holiday dragon scene! I love everything about it!! Thank you for sharing your exquisite colorist talents with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna
Nana, I love this. He could be taught to put the star or angel on the top of the tree. He looks so cute in his Santa hat and don't forget our partner uses our Twisted Sister's optional twist to include a Santa hat on your project... hope you join them at: http://jinglebellesrock.blogspot.com/2023/07/santas-hat.html
Of course, I love your Dragon Connie, he is a cutie with the Christmas tree, beautifully coloured too.

That is a sweet dragon and I can definitely see the "kitten" in him/her! Thanks for inspiring us at the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge.
