I am so pleased to be one of the QKD Royal Stamping Maids introducing the QKD stamp Thanksgiving Dragons designed by Melia Newman. As soon as I saw this design, I knew it would be a perfect match for this week's card sketch challenge #23 at Priscillastyles' Midnight Madness site. That's why you see both the QKD and the MM badges at the top of my post.I loved working with the Dragon stamp! I used several Copics and Prismacolors for highlighting and contrasting. I double stamped the cornucopia and triple stamped the pumpkin, then cut out and layered the extras for lots of dimension. I only glued the dragons from the arms down and put pop dots behind their faces so that they looked more 3-dimensional. Spellbinders' Nestabilities Die Cut Labels and a Cuttlebug embossing folder design provide the frame for my Dragon couple.
I decided to get really creative with the sketch and interpret the 3 panels as Ms. Dragon's feathers. A gal can never have too many feathers to dress up her headband--especially for the upcoming holiday season! Each panel is sporting a different design made with Cuttlebug embossing folders and different loopy trim to mimic feathers. I have to confess that I felt seven-years-old again, coloring and cutting out the paper doll and her outfits that came in the comics section of the Sunday paper. Because the distressed background pattern paper had a title across the top, I altered the sketch a little by rotating the felt ribbon and putting it across the bottom of the card to anchor everything.
