Dragons Rule

My love for coloring on kraft paper is growing!   The colors pop off the paper bringing the images to life.  I love this adorable Dragon Rider image from LeAnn's World 101.

So again, I printed my image on regular kraft paper in the area I wanted her to be. I used my Prismacolor pencils and had so much fun with this one.  The background was created by using a couple paper flower cutouts and tracing them to look like clouds.  I then put down my layers of color and took a normal pencil eraser and blended it all together.  It makes for a soft look and makes the colors mesh more.  

I stamped a cute little sentiment from the Fired Up set by Pink & Main using my Tim Holtz Stamp platform.  Finished it off with a few drops from my Perler pen.

Bathtime Monkey

I was so super excited to see Melissa at KaDoodle Bug Designs create new original files.. I couldn't wait to cut out one of the adorable monkey files. I chose to work with the Sitting Bathtime Monkey for a cute little boys card.  See.. isn't it cute!?!

I set my pieces to cut on my Cameo machine. While the pieces were cutting, I stamped my background - a simple dot pattern.  I wanted that adorable monkey with the rubber ducky to be the main focal point.

Once it was all cut, I chalked all my edges.  Love how it gives the pieces some dimension.

Time to assemble to cutie. I LOVE this adorable file.  Those big eyes and that rubber ducky

For the card base, I cut a piece of blue Bazzill cardstock for the mat.  I then added a piece of brown striped paper to my stamped background to look like wood paneling on a wall. Wrapped some ribbon around it and the background is done.  I did not add a sentiment as I wasn't sure who/what the card would be used for lol.

Happy Monday!    Is it too early to be working on Halloween cards?!  I didn't think so either lol

I love the beautiful Kate image from LeAnn's World 101.  

She's such a fun image to color.  I decided to have a little fun coloring on kraft paper instead of my normal colored pencil paper.  I LOVE the final outcome on kraft. My sentiment is from Pink & Mains Witch Brew set.

Hair is my nemesis but I really like how it turned out on this card.
