The new challenge is starting over at the Alphabet Challenge, we are on the letter D – for “dragons or dinosaurs.” Although I have nothing against them, my stamp selection is very limited in that category. However, I just bought a set from Jane’s Doodles because I knew this challenge was coming up, and I thought it was actually pretty cute!
Instead of coloring the dragon I decided to stamp it on some patterned paper and cut it out. The sentiment is also from the same set, but since it was photopolymer I was able to put it on the Misti so it would curve around the bottom of the die cut. After stamping it I heat embossed it with clear powder to give it a little shine. The final touch was to add some matching hearts.
I would also like to join in the challenge at the Paper Players (#541) which is a clean and simple challenge using polka dots, and the colors I chose were purple and teal so I could play along at Color Hues (#18) as well. This week the challenge at Krafty Chicks Challenge (#560) is anything goes that is clean and simple.
What a great idea to bend the sentiment around the oval panel and to PP the dragon!
Thanks for being inspired to use the colours at Color Hues. 🙂
A brilliant card,the colour combo is beautiful and the dragon adorable
Love those dots Melanie and your patterned dragon is super cute! Thanks for playing along with us over at The Paper Players this week!
HI Melanie! This polka dot cutie is wonderful with the purple/teal color combo! I love all of the dots! I just wanted to let you know that this will be my final challenge with the Alphabet Gang – I am taking some time off from DT responsibilities except for one team in hopes of spending more time with family and traveling now that we have been vaccinated! I will be able to see your amazing creations on IG! Take care!

So very cute – what a great idea to use paper and piece it onto the dragon….great colours. xx
What a great way to combine the challenges! That teal dragon couldn’t be cuter, and I love the paper piecing! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
Love this adorable dragon! Love how you stamped him on designer paper! Your details are perfectly done! Have a great weekend!
This is so fun! Your dragon is magical and I love all those polka dots! So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
What a cute card! That little dragon is too cute, especially with the polka dot detail. Thank you so much for playing along with my CAS polka dot challenge this week over at The Paper Players!
You’ve created such a wonderful dragon project. I love to see all the different occasions that dragons/dinos have been used for, and I realized to my surprise that many of them are not your stereotypical (i.e. masculine) creations. The idea of using the dragon stamp on patterned paper is brilliant – I’d never guess! Your colour combo is great, too, and the card as such really is magical.
Hugs, Veronika
Love this cute dragon! It reminds me of a song from the 1960s here in the UK called ‘Puff the magic dragon’ – he definitely looks like he’s got magical powers!
This is adorable. I love the colours you have chosen. Love Dawn x
