Happy autumn dragon

I love this digi from Wee Stamps. I decided to go with an easel card for a change today and used a sketch by Everybody Art Challenge. I don’t make many autumnal cards as I don’t really have cards I need to send at this time of year. However, I wanted to make a card for a friend who is having a tough time so inspired by the Papercraft Star photo I decided to go for autumn colours.

I made the papers and embellishments with Craft Artist. I colour matched everything to the Papercraft Star photo. I used a leaf embellishment with a stamp effect using the key colours from the picture to make the background papers. I added a leaf doodle patter on the bottom right and went over it with my Sakura copper star pen.

I added 2 pieces of web material which I coloured using a variety of pearlescent inks in matching colours.

I coloured the image with promarkers. I used pearlescent inks to highlight the dragons cheeks, chest and tummy. I used glaze pen on the berries, his tongue and his eyes.
 

This photo shows the leaf doodling a little better.
