This card was hard! No beating around the bush, I said it. See, I have two little girls...and they wear a lot of pink. We go to a lot of girl birthday parties and buy a lot of girl gifts. Not much "boy" in our house. I downloaded this Dustin Pike image early last fall, but was never sure quite what to do with it. KL Stampin N Scrappin issued a challenge for Appreciate a Dragon Day - it's a real holiday...you can Google it! LOL! I immediately knew that I was going to use this image but I didn't want to make it too girly. I coloured it with my copics and then went in search of a sketch to use.
I found the perfect sketch over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp - Challenge #19, pulled out my Basic Grey Urban Prairie Papers and went to work. I finished it off with some Prima Flowers, Basic Grey Buttons and MFT Essential Sentiments set. If I'd had it (or the time to make something on the computer) I think a more fitting sentiment would have been "Hello Friend", but this will do.
Finally, my card qualifies for the new Raise the Bar Challenge Blog for using something new...I've had those flowers since the summer but never cracked the package...same with the buttons...I got them from Jenny in a Secret Sister Swap back in August but failed to crack the package.

Too cute...for real there is an appreciate a dragon day? How funny!
What a sweet card, I like that it's not too girly, and could be used for a boy too, or a non-girly girl girl (tomboy). The sketch is really neat (will be playing with this one myself, and that DP image is cute.
