Congrats to You

Just this past week a friend of mine got herself a much deserved promotion, way to go Joyce. So to celebrate I wanted to make her a special card and I just love this little dragon stamp with his balloon. He is made by Stampavie, Lelo Designs and is called Party Dragon. Isn't he just the cutest little thing.

The copics used on this card are:

Wings, horns, patch on shirt and one balloon: V0000, V000, V01 and V12
Shirt toenails and one balloon: YR0000, YR000, YR01 and YR02
Last Balloon: BG10, BG11 and BG13
Dragon: YG93, YG95, YG97 and YG13

I spent some time trying to decide what papers to use and found some from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist called Happy Go Lucky that went with the colors I used just perfectly. The cloud paper is also My Mind's Eye but from the paper pack called Fly a Kite. This piece of course needed so sparkle so out came the Pearl Glimmer Mist. This adds just the right amount of sparkle and gets used quite often in my house. Everything must have a little sparkle.

It may be hard to tell from the pictures but did you notice how the balloons look wet? Crystal effect was used on these to give it a latex look. It was also used on the Congratulations banner. The little dragon is pop-dotted off the cloud layer. To get the layered shape I used my nestablities, gotta love these. Tho I always have to search youtube to remember what platform to use when cutting and embossing with these on my Big Shot.

After putting the card all together I decided it really needed a little something else to finish it off so I used my handy dandy Bow-Easy, which by the way makes the most perfect bows ever, to make a cute triple bow with some gingham ribbon and then added a cute little corduroy button.

Hope you have enjoyed this card.

Have a great Sunday. Happy stamping,

Ronda
