*Gulp*
I was pushing stamps around the table and of course my favourite dragon was on the top but I had no idea what to make. I took a break and looked at some of the challenges for inspiration and AAA Cards caught my eye with a brilliant challenge based on a TV Show. I looked at the dragon again and BINGO... The Clangers. I used to love that show as a child with the whistling and weirdly they only ate green soup that was dished up by the Soup Dragon. Kids tv was a little strange in the 70s but a lot more imaginative!
Anyway here is the card I finally managed to cobble together complete with a (boy) Soup Dragon...
I did ask if the colleague had a sense of humour as not everyone would appreciate a dragon but I kinda liked the look on his face. He was coloured using alcohol markers and cut out using the matching dies.
I used a ruler, a rare sight when I craft just to align the letters and the 'Happy' is from Lawn Fawn.

I was always a little freaked out by the clangers, but there is nothing freaky about your adorable soup dragon!! Love the design and the multiple fonts xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card! I'm not familiar with the Clangers, but it sounds like a fun TV show! That's some fantastic sentiment alignment too! Good eyes :)
