More details, closeups, links and the inside of the card on my blog HERE. This little dragon from Whimsy Stamps is irresistible... his name is Freddie. So cute!
I started off my coloring by misting the watercolor panel and dotting in some paint with a wet-into-wet technique, and that gave me the undertones for the dragon as well as a matching background color. I added in more details with Zig and Akashiya Sai markers and a little more watercolor.
Here's a look at the full background panel - I did this in 3 layers on my Gelli Plate - 1) a solid light yellow layer, 2) a layer of darker yellow pressed with an open embossing folder, and 3) a stenciled layer of light green. The dragon image actually fronts a mini card that's mounted on a flat card base.

Your sweet, gentle dragon with that forlorn look on his face, and heart on his tail, made me immediately think of this song by Sara Weeks, "I've Never Eaten A Princess". It's as cute as your adorable card creation.

Oh...i am so tempted to retrieve my evil gel plate from the box where I banish art supplies that don't work for me. Your bg is gorgeous and is the perfect frame for your adorable dragon. I pinned it just in case I decide to try my geli plate...to be honest, watercolors don't work too well for me either, so I think I will just enjoy looking at your terrific card.
