Good Morning! I was able to play along with the Game Night VSN again this morning. When I saw the D & D challenge, I thought, "Oh my, how will I ever meet my own challenge to make all the VSNs into Christmas cards with this one?" Then I got the idea to do a "dragon scale" background using my circle punch. I was really worried about the time on this one, so once I gathered up my materials, I set my stop watch on my phone and got to work. The entire card took 50 minutes and 8 seconds. Just creating the background took 30 minutes.
This was enormously FUN!! I love how all the Splitcoast challenges have a way of focusing my attention and allowing me to create something gorgeous that would have otherwise NEVER come to be. Thank you to all the hostesses!!!

This is gorgeous! I'm impressed that you were able to create that beautiful background in just 30 minutes. I love the selection of papers you used to create it with the pops of sparkle paper here and there. Well done!
