Puff the Magic Dragon

Well that's what I've nicknamed this cute little dragon from Sylvia's Wee stamps digi collection available at Cuddly Buddly - he's actually called 'Autumn Happiness' but I've used a pretty blue and tan patterned paper and coloured him to match. When it came to colouring I used Copics, chalk inks and Polychromos pencils, as well as a clear glaze pen over the berries and his tiny little wings. I think you might see a bit better in the close up below .. .. ..

To colour little Puff I used Copics YG91, 93, 95, 00, 21, E40, 41, 42, R12, B52, B0000, 000, 00 and C3. To add shading I used white, dark blue and sky blue pencils as well as Sea Breeze Versamagic chalk ink. I'm happy with the darker shading but wish I hadn't put a layer of Copic blue around little Puff first - it was difficult to add the sky blue pencil on top without going dark to cover it up. Ah well, a lesson learnt for next time!

The Creative Card Crew challenge is for no flowers so here's my entry for them. The Anything Goes challenge is for die cuts - I've die cut the rectangular scallop nestie for my image mat and also used a Nellies Choice lacy die on the edge of my beige horizontal strip of patterned paper. This is another scheduled post as I'm recovering from the family visit yesterday!
