Ok my first idea, well lets say I am waiting for some products to be delivered, but I have lots at home to play with, so I had to come up with another idea this week.

I already had this gorgeous background created (without the Love stamped onto it) and I thought the colours were perfect for the Love theme.

The background was done with Distress Oxide ink & water with some stencilling. I had it sitting in my stash to use when I was ready to create with it. I found the Love word from the Lovin’ Right Now Stamp Set & stamped it in Papaya Exclusive Inks™ as I thought the colour blended nicely with the pinks & oranges I used in the background.

I stamped the Dragon from the Storybook—Scrapbooking Stamp Set & coloured it in Pale Pink TriBlend™ Marker with some highlights from the Pale Pink Shades TriBlend™ Marker. I then added Diamond Stickles™ Glitter Glue over the main part of the body.

I had seen an Instagram Post from Ranger Ink that showed how you could mix a little bit of water with Liquid Pearls™ to create some luminous paint, so I tried a little bit of Rose Gold Liquid Pearls™ with water to add to the inner parts of the wings & on the snout of the dragon. It is hard to see in this photo, but it is nice & shinny.

I fussy cut out the dragon, cutting into the body so it could hold a heart from the Lovin’ Right Now Stamp Set & attached it to a circle cut from white daisy that had a very pale sky & grass blended onto it & some stamped flowers from the Sweet Easter Stamp Set.

I completed the card with some hearts stamped in Papaya Exclusive Inks™ from the Storybook—Scrapbooking Stamp Set
