Dragon's 'Ooops'

      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

Something Sweet for Beccy's Place

      Beccy has slipped in another of the non-alphabetical themes over at the 30 Days of Holidays and today we're working with "Something Sweet."  I've used an image and sentiment from her latest set of elves, in particular the Baker Elf who has baked up some deliciously sweet, gingerbread cookies!

     I colored with ProMarkers and added gel sparkle pen to his shirt stripes, then cut & framed the image using dies from Spellbinders.  The strip of dp is a scrap from the Christmas papers basket.  The sentiment is hand cut and the poinsettia is a Jolee's embellishment and it's fuzzy.  I added a little peppermint candy embellie to the center of it.


     Challenges:

     I may have another post later this evening but if not, then definitely in the morning.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
