Elzybells: George - and his dragon

Hello and welcome to my little Blog :-)

My DD received a party invitation a few days ago to a boy's 7th birthday party which was held on Saturday afternoon.  Eek - not much notice and not much time to make a card because I had lots of running around to do during the week but I managed to squeeze the card in somehow.  It was rather fortunate that I had a Lego set put away in the cupboard which I had bought on sale - what better image to match the Lego set (see below) than my Elzybells Knight and Dragon stamp which I still had on my desk from the card  I uploaded here to my Blog a week or so ago.

And here is the card:

I'm also popping this card into the Splitcoaststampers "Ways to use it Challenge" WT167 of Masculine.

The Cuttlebugging was done with my Quickutz Diamond and Dots embossing folder, then I lightly sanded the embossing.  The image was coloured with Gamsol and Prismacolor pencils then I lightly chalked around the image with my Kaisercolour chalks.  I used my Kaszazz distressing rubber stamps with my Hero Arts 'Soft Sand' Shadow ink around the edges of the image, the sentiment and the designer paper, then grabbed my seasponge and smooched the same ink around the edges of each layer on the card.

The sentiment was stamped with Burnt Sienna ink and was popped up on 2mm mounts (dimensionals).  The ribbon was made in 2 separate elements 'cos I like neat ribbons on my cards!

I recently purchased a Bazzill In 'Stitch'z Mat which I used underneath my piercer - it is really thick and works 100 times better than my old mouse mat and I ended up with a much neater row of dots.   

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll be back tomorrow with another card.
