The Crafty Den: Magical Dragons

Hello again friends. I'm back with my second card for today and I'm sharing my DT card for this week's Krafty Chicks challenge. We are on Week 1 this week, which is 'Stamps', so want to see some stamping (or digi images) on your creations.

I needed a card for a crafty friend so this was the perfect challenge for me. My friend loves clouds so had to incorporate them onto her card somewhere. Here is my card:

and a closer look at the cute dragon:

I also decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the cute dragon image and coloured it with my Promarkers; I used the matching die to cut it out (even though I made a template I found it tricky to line up but it looks ok). I took a white card panel 4" x 5 1/4" and cut a window in the upper portion using a cloud die. I used a cloud stencil and stencilled the whole panel with a light blue ink. I added a piece of acetate behind the window with liquid glue. I cut a piece of purple card and stamped a sentiment in black ink. I added this to the bottom of the panel with double sided tape. To make it look more finished I added a thin strip of green card above this with liquid glue. I didn't want to waste the cloud that I die cut so added it to my background on the left side (and as I had a little bit that I cut off I also decided to add that to the right side for some balance). I found some old shaker mixes in my drawer so used some clear sparkling sequins in my shaker window. I added foam tape behind my panel and also around the cloud window. To enclose the sequins I covered the window with another piece of the purple card. I then adhered the panel to my card base. The dragon was added to the card with foam squares just below the shaker window. I did add a couple of extra sequins as a finishing touch. For the inside I cut the same size panel and again used the cloud stencil all over. I also added a panel of purple card and a thin strip of green card. The sentiment was stamped in black ink. The panel was added with double sided tape.
