Our sponsor for the month of March is Sweet Pea Stamps. They sell both digital and rubber stamps, with a wide assortment to choose from. Please go check them out.
Here is the card I made using Lisa Victoria's Dragon Luck image. Isn't this adorable? I just love that little lady bug landing on his nose.
For the background, I used white card stock and five inks from Stampin' Up! (from top - rich razzleberry, orchid opulance, melon mambo, daffodil delight, and green galore). I printed the dragon image onto white card stock and colored him using both Copic and Spectrum Noir markers (dragon - CG3, YG06; eyes - PL3; ladybug - R21, R24, R27; flower - RV23, RV25, YG07). The frame is a cut file from Silhouette of America (Flourish Frame Design #3389). It was cut using purple card stock from Recollections (there is no color listed). The sentiment was typed on my computer using Comic Sans font. I used a label punch from Stampin' Up! and then used daffodil delight ink to distress it. I added lime green goosebump crystals in the corners to finish it off.
I really hope you get a chance to play along with us this week. These are some really awesome colors to work with.
