Dragon Dreams - Limited Edition Stamp - Colouring with Crayons with Julia McNeil Designs

Hello everyone Happy Friday! I hope that you've had a great week and the weather has been kind where you are.  We've finished picking the olives - yeah...just got to get them to our local mill for pressing....its not been a great year so not sure yet how much oil well get back...

Time for a breather before we start pruning ! 

Today I'm back to share a project for JMC Designs  and its something a little different.

I've used one of the fabulous limited edition stamps for my card today - the set is called Dragon Dreams and is still available on the website

For my card today I decided to use crayons to colour the sleeping dragon and the clouds - yes that's right...an inexpensive actually very cheap colouring medium and i'm so happy with the result.  

If you would like to learn more then Julia has an excellent tutorial on YouTube that will give you a few pointers - it's super easy though. Here is the link

I stamped the images onto Bristol card - its got more of a texture or tooth than the card I would normally use for alcohol pens.  Once coloured and burnished, I fussy cut out the dragon and the 3 extra clouds ready for my card along with the sentiment.

Next I created my background - I wanted a galaxy style background so started with a peice of watercolour card.  I randomly blended 3 colours of distress inks over the watercolour card and then spritzed with water to let the colours mix and blend together.  

Once the card was completely dry I used my black soot distress ink, applying this over the coloured sections.  To finish the panel I splattered silver metallic paint and white posca pen.  The clouds and the dragon were adhered to the card some flat and some on foam tape for dimension.

To finish off the card and add sparkle I used a sparkle pen over the clouds  and used the white posca pen to create little stars.

I do hope that you like my card for today and I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment.
