A couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to win the Cutie Pie Challenge, and my prize was 2 digi images from Lee Holland Art
I have to confess that although I have a few digi images I have rarely used them up to now as I’m not overly familiar with how to resize them etc., but having won a couple I thought I’d give it a go. Lee has lots of fab images in his online shop so it was pretty difficult to pick 2; but I was particularly drawn to his images of cute dragons, primarily as they are quite different from anything else I’ve seen.
So here is a birthday card for a friend that I needed to make straight away, using one of the images.
What is not to love about this cute baby dragon?? ❤️ I’m also a big lover of butterflies so this image ticked all the boxes for me. I wasn’t too sure how to colour him so I’m not altogether confident about that, but I did my best and had a lot of fun.
I am also starting to look through my stash and reacquaint myself with what I’ve got after three years of doing very little cardmaking … including absolutely loads of dies!! I rooted out these fabulous Magnolia Doohickey flowers which haven’t been used in toooo long!
The card is actually pretty sparkly, but the light wasn’t too great when I was taking photos so the pics don’t fully capture that.
Stamps: Lee Holland Art - “Dragon with butterfly”; sentiment free with Simply Card and Papercraft magazine ;
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers;
Tools: Spellbinders dies and Magnolia Doohickey “doily flowers” dies;
Paper, gems and ribbon from my stash.

So cute and very pretty colours. Thanks for joining Passion for Markers. Elaine
Your card is absolutely stunning and I'd never guess your issues with digis because I can see absolutely no flaws here. The little dragon is awesome, and I like how the butterflies in the background complement the one in your digi. Beautiful choice of colours, too - so whimsical and perfect for the main motif. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
Hugs, Veronika
Wow, your coloring is spot on, perfectly coordinated with the papers and embellishments! Such a fun card, thank you for sharing with us at the Alphabet Challenge!
It is a difficult one, I think in future it should be current favourite as it changes as new goodies drop on our desks. But it's a very pretty card in all the shades of lilac and hints of green.
Many thanks for sharing a (current) 'Favourite Stamp' with us at We Love Chocolate Baroque and also joining in our August theme at Stamping Sensations Celebrations challenge.

Oh this is gorgeous on so many levels. It is a perfect monochrome card. The embellishments and layers work perfectly to create dimension.
