Happy Birthday Dragon card

Evening All!!

I've been meaning to post this card all week and haven't got round to it. 
Made the for a member of the family's birthday who collects dragons.


Stamp and emboss the Dragon and Happy Birthday verse.


Apply the pebeo drawing gum over the dragon image. I prefer to use a rubber tipped brush to apply the solution as it seems to make all my brushes go hard, even if I try to clean them. You will need to work quickly though as the mixture is fast drying and the rubber tip will pull it back off if you don't work quick enough.


Sprinkle the pretty gets gritty powders onto your messy mat one colour at a time. Spritz with water and dab your card into the inky mixture. Dry with a heat gun.
Continue the same process with the other two colours.
Once your card is completely dry, remove the masking fluid with either your finger or a glue eraser. You will need to do this carefully. 


I painted the dragon with a watery mixture of the pretty gets gritty Atlas and Venus powders to give a nice shimmery affect. Add some darker blue tones using chipped sapphire distress ink - dab the ink on a tile and apply with a watery paint brush.


Randomly stamp the splattered script in the background with wilted violet.


Mix a small amount of transparent get crackled with atlas pretty gets gritty powder. 
Using a palette knife apply the mixture through the stencil and leave to dry. 



Once completely dry water down some unicorn pretty gets gritty powder and lightly drip over the crackled scales to darken.

Finally create a mount using black card and mount onto a 7x7 card blank.

Crafty Individuals Mythical stamp launch

Hi Everyone!!!

This month has been extremely exciting....... 
I was given an amazing opportunity to draw some images for Crafty Individuals, these have all been turned into rubber stamps. They've been made using high quality red rubber and stamp beautifully. 
I feel so honored to have my drawings under such a wonderful company. 

If it wasn't for my amazing son, none of this would have happened. He asked me to draw him a phoenix so he could use it as his logo for his gaming accounts. 
Not long after that I made a start on some other drawings - which I really enjoyed doing. Its been years I've drawn anything and have since been working on a few more pieces (some of which I will be sharing on social media very soon)

Anyway enough of me rambling on, here are some of the samples I made for the launch on The Craft Store at the beginning of August.
These are all now available to purchase direct from Crafty Individuals.
