A friendly dragon with birthday wishes

Hi folks,

If you are a frequent visitor, you may have seen me occasionally mention that dearly beloved plays Dungeons and Dragons. Well, the DM (dungeon master) for their group had a birthday recently and this is the card that I made for her.

I bought this stamp quite some time ago (last year I think) and had shown it to her one night when they were playing at our house. She thought it was cute and had said that when I got around to making a card with it she would love to see it. So, I thought she should be the first person to get a card made with the stamp.

card details:

• finished size: 5.5 x 5.5 inches, kraft card stock base, textured brown bazzill card stock mats
• patterned paper: Basic Grey "Marjolaine" (possibly my favourite paper collection ever)
• stamped image: Whimsy Stamps "Dragon's Little Friend", coloured with Copic Markers (E93, B0000, B01, B02, B00, B000, R81, R85)
• sentiment: Verve "Making a Statement"
• brown satin ribbon and adhesive raindrops from my stash.
• Spellbinders Petite Circles
• layout: Sketch Saturday #331

Hope you are all having a wonderful week!

Sweet Stop Sketch 204 and Whimsy Stamps

Hi folks,

Today, one of dearly beloved's nieces has a birthday - she turns a big 9 years old today. She plays ice hockey (just like her Dad when he was a kid and just like her older brother) so, when I saw this image by Kenny K for Whimsy Stamps, I knew I had to have it so I could make a card for her one day. I have had the stamp for months but this is the first time it was inked up and coloured.

card details

• finished size: 5x5 inches, white card stock base, CTMH Honey mats/accents
• patterned papers: CTMH Stardust (I think that's the name, it is retired now and is one of many paper packs in my paper hoard. I'm really trying to use up my 12x12 papers!)
• stamped image: "Hockey Girl" by Kenny K for Whimsy Stamps, coloured with Copic Markers (E000, E00, E01, E04, E21, E23, E25, E27, C1, C3, C5, Y15, Y17, Y19, B21, B41, B37, YR24)
• sentiment: Verve "Birthday Surprise"

Thanks ever so much for stopping by! I hope your week is going well!
