A sweet little dragon...


Trick or treat!! Welcome to Day 2 of Amy's Sweet November previews for August! Did you know that Amy is having a giveaway of ALL her new releases plus "zero calorie" candy just by leaving a comment on each day's post? Check out all the details here and yes, she will ship internationally, too!


Here's my card using the cute little Dragon dude. When I first saw the image, I asked Amy, "What is he looking at?" and she said "Whatever you want!"

So I stamped up a bunch of yummy jellybeans in different colors and covered them with Glossy Accents. Doesn't the little dude look surprised at the size of those jellybeans?

I texturized his costume by using some Copic colorless blender like my friend Kelly shared with me and I like the "scaliness" of how a dragon's skin would be.

Don't forget to visit Amy's blog to try and win this stamp and the rest of her release. And come back tomorrow to see another Halloween cutie that's very "bewitching"!


Stamps: Sweet November, Hero Arts, Imagine That
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink, 
Ink: Versamark, Distress ink, Memento, Versafine
Other: Copics, Nestabilities, clear embossing powder, Glossy Accents, pop dots, ribbon
