You Slay Me

Hi everyone!  I'm still in the mood to color, and I hadn't used this adorable set Magical Dragons set by Birdie Brown for MFT yet.

The dragon was stamped on Neenah Solar White cardstock with Gina K Amalgam ink and colored with Copics.  

Then it ended up being a bit of a scramble.  I wanted to add a bit of shading/ground line, so I used some post it tape to mask off the bottom of the card, as well as the bottom of the dragon, and added some inking with a blending brush and Black Soot Distress Ink.

Unfortunately, I didn't fully make off the bottom of the card, so when I pulled the post it tape up, I realized that I had accidentally inked the bottom of the card below the tape.

So, I placed the tape back on the card, and fully inked the bottom of the card to create a white space below the dragon.

The sentiment, also from this set, was stamped with Versafine, but then it looked kind of lonely in all that white space, so I added black line using a straight edge and a black journaling pen.  This ended up turning into two lines that I filled in because I didn't do a great job drawing the lines to begin with.

It's not quite what I imagined when I set out to create the card, but I really like how it turned out....I might even try this again, it makes for a great clean and simple masculine card.

Also, just in case you haven't heard, there's an anniversary sale happening at Ellen Hutson - 20% off the whole store with code LUCKY13.
