I made this card for Sandy's Teapot Challenge. We were to use an animal we like, but not a dog or cat.
I love dragons.
I got to use a favorite technique right now, painting glitter paper with alcohol inks. (It doesn't dull the sparkle.) And one of my favorite sentiments.

That is really a cool technique Pat! I like a sparky dragon ;) The bg is great, too...love the colors. And what can I say about the sentiment....unexpected! HA!

Gorgeous card, Pat. Love that background you made, and of course a dragon should sparkle like that. I've always thought that sentiment was fun (makes me remember the motto on the Hogwarts school crest, which is "never wake a sleeping dragon" in Latin).

I also like dragons so I definitely think this was a great choice. I have this image and love that smirk on his face.
This is beautiful! The colors are gorgeous and I love, love, love how you colored over that paper! I am definitely going to have to make a mess and try that technique. TFS

Pat, this is fantastic. Super background, fun sentiment, gorgeous magical sparkly dragon. I've coloured over glitter paper before but I've never tried stamping on it, that sounds hard but looks great.

Ooh! I'll have to try that, Pat! I was wondering how you got so much sparkle on the dragon! Looks great with that alcohol background too. And the sentiment is a hoot!
