Pink Gem dragon

Finally a card! I've not had a very productive week for some reason, I think I'm in hibernating mode and I'm only going in the craft room for very short bursts - it's cold up there!

I've dug out a neglected stamp from Pink Gem Designs - it's ages since I used this one and I've no idea why because I think he's gorgeous, in fact I think I might use him again soon for a card my mum's asked for. He's coloured with my usual promarkers, with glamour dust on his wings because I like a bit of sparkle :o) The sentiment is a Stampin Up one that I got as part of a free gift when I subscribed to Papercraft Inspirations last year. The papers are new ones that I bought from Quixotic Paperie - they're MME and I think they're called Just Dreamy, the little stripy scalloped border strips are from the matching accessory sheet. Cardstock is DCWV, with some coredinations whitewash card for the star embossed circle - I love the effect of the whitewash when it's sanded back. Buttons are papermania, ribbon is one I scavenged from one of my birthday boxes of choccies lol. And FINALLY I've used my bow-easy, another purchase from Quixotic but ages ago - I played with it a bit when I first bought it but this is it's first proper use. I'm absolutely hopeless at bows usually!

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

• Cupcake Craft - fab sketch
• Flutter By Wednesday - embossing (+ butterfly, angel or fairy - my butterfly is only little but the dragon has wings too if that helps lol)
• Think Ink - think spring (perhaps not usual spring colours but it feels like a 'spring' card to me)
• Sophisticat - spring
• A Spoon Full of Sugar - lots of layering
• Cooking It Up With Katie - non-human image, texture, and a product never used before (bow-easy)
• Incy Wincy - colour me wonderful
• Die Cut Dreams - recycle it (ribbon)
• K L Stampin - appreciate a dragon day! (first time entering this one & not sure if there are any products I'm supposed to use, so sorry if my card doesn't qualify!)
• Quixotic - ink up an old stamp
