A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #764 - For a Boy Sponsored by Di's Digis

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day !

Today I'm here to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge and I hope that you will join in.

This weeks challenge theme of 'For a Man or a boy' has been chosen by Me for team 2 and the prize this week is being given by 

This is a simple A2 (US size) card today and I have used a super cute digital stamp from Pink Gem Designs called Dani Dragon with Balloon.  

I think he's a perfect dragon for a little boy (or a big boy come to that) and I wanted to create a little nighttime scene for my dragon and was given some pretty dark sky designer paper a few years ago that I thought would be perfect for it.  I decided to stick to yellow, green and blue colours too for my more masculine card.

I started by cutting a piece of the paper to fit my card base and then used a circular die to cut an aperture.  I then used a moon stencil to create the moon that would fill the aperture using distress ink.

I resized the digital image of Dani and coloured him with promarkers before fussy cutting out.  I then adhered the coloured dragon with foam tape for dimension.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed on a piece of white card then I have blended distress ink over the top to blend in with the card.

The finishing touches were some pieces of gold confetti around the design, grey metallic gelly roll pen for the balloon string and white gel pen highlights. 

 

I hope that you join in with the challenge as there is a prize from the sponsor for our lucky winner!

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

Dani the Dragon with Pink Gem Designs

Hello everyone - wishing you a wonderful Thursday....I hope you are all enjoying the week so far.

I'm a very happy bunny today as we had a heater unit installed in the Craft room / Study yesterday... We had a gas heater in here before but it was a pain to lug a full gas bottle up the stairs so job done !  Hopefully no more cold fingers when I'm crafting 😃😃

Today I have 2 cards for you featuring the cute little dragon called Dani from Pink Gem Designs

I was asked by a friend here where we live, to make a pair of 60th Birthday cards for their Welsh friends back in the UK, a husband and wife and Dani sprang to mind immediately for these cards - what better than a Welsh dragon.... obviously my take on a Welsh dragon.

I decided to use Dani with Balloon for one of the cards and teamed this with some pretty daffodil paper from my crafty stash with a simple wavy stitched die cut border.  The sentiment is from my CraftArtist software printed onto the background panel.

My coloured dragon was mounted onto my card using some low profile foam and then some confetti scattered around the design to finish off.

For the second card I've used Dani with his hat with the same colourway but for my background I've created a panel based on the Welsh flag and then simply positioned my coloured Dani in the centre  of the card.  The sentiment and green textured digital paper are both from my CraftArtist software.  I decided to add the panel to the card with a simple mat layer of dark green card.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
