tales of a craftaholic

PfP - WEEK 23

This weeks challenge on the Passion for Promarkers Blog allows you to use any colours, the only criteria is that there is an animal on the creation somewhere. 

My son's 3rd birthday is coming up at the end of November, so I decided to make his birthday card last night with the fab new 'Party Dragon' stamp I got from Crafty Angels. How cute is this little fella???  As he is technically an animal I figured I would enter the card in the challenge as well.

I stamped my image using memento ink, then coloured the wee dragon in using Apple and Meadow Green promarkers, his T shirt and ballon are done using a combination of Blue Pearl, Cornflower and China Blue (love these blue shades, they blend so beautifully together).  I shaded around the dragon image using blue pastel chalk.  I then double mounted it on green then blue glitter co'ordinations cardstock.  I embossed some white card stock using my cuttlebug numbers embossing folder and used some green pastel chalk to bring out the numbers. 

I mounted the embossed numbers on some blue shimmer cardstock from the pay per box stand.  I stamped a happy birthday sentiment on some white card stock, shaded this with blue pastel chalk and double mounted this the same as the dragon and attatched it to the card with some shiny string. 

thanks for looking!!!!
