Crafty Cardmakers# 232 - Dragons or Mythical Creatures

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi! back again to tell you that it's time for another challenge over
at Crafty Cardmakers.

 Lin is hosting today and our challenge is Dragons or other Mythical Creatures.

As usual you can enter anything you fancy, it doesn't have to be cards, as long as it meets the challenge. 

Hope you will join in.
And here is my project for the challenge:



I made this card using several Lavinia stamps and one of her dies. The background is one of my own Masterboards coloured with Distress Oxides before applying the stamps.

Started here.
Not sure which die to use so cut out a few to begin with.


Coloured an A3 sheet of watercolour paper with Distress Oxides.


And these are the ones I used.


There may appear to be rather a lot of colours here but as I used two shades of the green, and two of pink and then the blue and purple it's not like using six completely different colours and appears on the finished piece as though there are not actually so many colours just shade.


Stamped the Lavinia fairies next.



You can see on this close-up of the textured pattern from the stamp below.


Added some dots through this stencil too.


Cut out a circle from the Masterboard to mount the die cut onto.


And mounted the card with a black layer and more Masterboard.


Couldn't resist adding more dragons to the back of the card too.



And there we are finished. I completed the design with a sentiment on the front and stickles Glitter Glue in the windows of the house.

And that's it really.

 I hope you will pop over to see what the rest of the DT have been up to and maybe join in the challenge.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with too.
 Happy crafty card making.
