Scale Up the Fun!

 Dia Daoibh!

August's challenge over at HQFCB is "anything goes" with the option of featuring a dragon. Well, who am I to resist a bit of fire-breathing fun? I mean, who needs a therapist when you have dragons to craft with?


I'm absolutely smitten with this wee dragon from iStock.  I've coloured him in with my trusty Promarkers and then, of course, I had to add some glitter and glossy accents... because dragons deserve to sparkle, right? The HB2U are die-cuts that I've layered up for some dimension, and then gave them a dusting of iridescent glitter. More sparkle, you say? Absolutely! The card is also embellished with enamel drops for an extra pop. Speaking of layering... let's talk double-sided foam tape. That stuff is the bane of my existence! I swear, wrestling with that tape is harder than taming a real dragon! Anyone else feel my pain? 😂


Galloping, flapping or maybe flying… this fantasy critter is heading straight for some challenge fun:


Right so, that's my dragon birthday card! It's got more sparkle than a dragon's hoard! But don't just take my word for it! Head on over to HQFCB to see what the rest of the DT has conjured up! And then, of course, join in the fun and enter the challenge! Show us your fire-breathing creations!

Sláinte!

Adorable dragon beautifully colored! And I love that Happy Birthday 2U! Nicely done. Thank you for sharing him with us @ Make My Monday.

Of course your dragon needed glitter and shine!!! I love the fun colors you chose. They work so well against the white glittery sentiment. Thanks so much for playing with Seize the Birthday!
