MTTC #506 Theme of Fantasy starting 21 April 2023

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

WHAT: MTTC's #506 design team inspiration card

WHY: I've been managing the challenge blog for over a year and also serve as a design team member; #506 theme is fantasy

WHEN: April 21-May 4, 2023

Show the DT card: Puff the Magic Dragon's cousin!!! card (joking!)

Introducing my named dragon as Droopy Dobson Dragon:

 Notes:

1. dragon image was a free image from the Clipart Library website

2. leaves, tab, leafy branches stickers = Webster Pages 2009

3. the creamy cardstock is actually pink that's been 'bleached' by the printer scanner light; green cardstock = stash

4. some gems were placed under the pink cardstock panel before adhering in order to use a white colored pencil and a gray colored pencil for an embossed "smoke" cloud kind of look

5. a lot of colored pencil hues were layered for adding color to the dragon

6. alpha tile stickers for 'hey' = Freckled Fawn

A Barrel of Monkeys challenge blog; started April 15; Theme Image Prompt is Pop-Its, a fidget item coming in hundreds of shapes; MY card has textured embossed circles (made with gems under the cardstock) to look like smoke coming out of the fire-breathing dragon!!!
