Poof!

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the 2nd of the year so time to share my card I made for the December Card Chain Challenge international card exchange.  If you like to make cards and you like to get real, old fashioned style happy mail maybe you would like to join the fun.  We have been sending love around the planet, one card at a time, since October 2009.  Nothing can stop us!  Not even a pandemic!  It's been interesting, sometimes it's been slow, sometimes it's been really, really, really slow, but the love in an envelope has got there in the end.  I'd like to thank all the amazing talented ladies and gent who have taken part in the Card Chain Challenge over the years.  Some take part every month, some just now and again, or maybe only once, but your love and support and awesome art warms my heart and soul.

Here's the card I sent to Brenda in the UK.

I love dragons.  After hesitating for a long time I bought a couple of these colorize die sets.   Then I have to admit I took advantage of the November sales and went seriously crazy on these colorize sets, so stay tuned for whole savannas and christmas scenes and allsorts of other stuff. Must say they are an excellent way to use up scraps!  OK, big white card base, cos this dude is big!  I covered most of it with some fancy printed foiled vellum I got as happy mail.  Thanks Susanne.  At the bottom I added a green scrap offcut from a drips die.  Then I started cutting the dragon.  Quite complex looking, but pretty easy really, except I do start to lose interest when you get down to the very tiny fiddly die cut bits.  But lovely result.  The sentiment is from a Prima dolls set, also stamped on a scrap, which I fussy cut to mirror the background pattern.
