My Favorite Dragon

The new designs from High Hopes are just awesome. I love all the dragons...but this one, ACE is my favorite!! I stamped the footprints onto the card with Perfect Medium. I embossed the image with black and painted it with Tombows. I embossed the footprint onto acetate and attatched it to the side.
Hope you like him.
Take care

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

This is my card for the PBSC.
I sponged the background with inks from Kaleidacolor. I embossed the image with black. If you can believe it...no stickles!!
I had seen some fab cards lately with sponged backgrounds. I mentioned it to my friend Cathy, and she said "I can show you how to do that". WELL... If you ever want to know how to do something when it comes to stamping and card making...she's the one to ask. I like to refer to her as " Cathy, my book of knowledge!!
She hasn't seen my finished card yet,so I hope she likes it.
Have a great day everyone.

SUNFLOWER

This is a stamp from Impression Obsession. I embossed the image with black and painted with H2o's. I also added some beads around the center. I haven't used my H2O's in a while...but I think they were perfect for this image. It is really hard to see the color in this photo, so click on the pic and it will enlarge for you to see the colors better.
I hope you like it.

This is my card for this weeks HHC3. I painted the images with Tombows and cut out and layered the bow. I also added some stickles. I couldn't find any background paper...so I used fabric. I haven't done much sewing on cards...I should have realized the cardstock would slide around all over the place,LOL. Anyway I will do a better job on my next sewing card!!
Have a great day, everyone!
