Hello, Crafty Peeps!
I am continuing my self-challenge of using items in my stash that have never been touched! Honestly, when I found the image that I used on this card, I was looking for a background stamp!
When I first started creating cards, I used mostly wallpaper and computer-generated images and sentiments. I didn't do a lot of stamping because I do not color well. I am also not inclined to spend hundreds of dollars in an attempt to learn how to color well. It just isn't that deep for me. In spite of this handicap, I purchased a lot of JustRight® Stamps because their images were so friggin' cute. The "Adorable Dragon" set has been in my stash, untouched for over 10 years.
I created my background using Distress Oxide Inks, a couple of stencils, and a stamp set that arrived in the mail while I was working on the project! The large "Primitive Heart™" was leftover from a previous project and the small heart is from the "Adorable Dragon" stamp set.
I added the dragon footprint to the inside of the card because the ones that I stamped on my background panel were covered up by the image. The Hubster came into my studio while I was working and said, "Wow, that is a fat dragon." I promise you that man is flirting with banishment!
I was definitely pleased with the way this project turned out! I like the composition and I like the colors. It is simple, but I think it works!
Thanks so much for visiting!
Hugz,

I know that Dragon! I have a digi version :) I'm a dragon lover, (it's on our flag after all, but a red one) hahaha. He is just perfect for Valentines Day isn't he? as you've shown. Love the sentiment and the background, a Super card Chan.
