We have been blessed with some glorious weather recently so a lot of time has been spent outdoors - either in the garden pottering about and soaking up the sunshine or out armed with binoculars (husband with camera) looking at birds and nature in general. A few days away whilst the weather was so good adds up to a pretty perfect time at the mo!
BUT - I had to have an inky fix in between and here it is
I have been mulling over the idea for this for a while - sometimes I don't trust myself to try out an idea in case it looks rubbish - but I was pretty happy with this one!
A friendly dragon flying in to see his dragon keeper.
A clearing in a wood and a fiery sky whilst they say hello to each other.
Stamps of course by Lavinia and Distress Oxides for background.
I have had Zemira for a little while but this is the first time she (and the dragon) have seen ink!
I used a couple of different colours of Memento Inks for our fiery dragon (thanks to my Misti!) and put some Wink of Stella on Zemira which doesn't show up very well in the photo.
Currently trying to decide if I second/third generation stamp the Lavinia Dragon Verse on the right... been thinking about it for several days .... and still thinking! Instead there may be a few more tree trunks added on the right rather than the verse.... still thinking!!!

ReplyDeleteLove that you have been having glorious weather, Vivali, and I hope it continues! Your Lavinia design looks stunning to me as it is, but you just keep on thinkin' and dabblin' because your design eye is on fire right now! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours chosen to make this amazing scene. I often dither over making a start on this type of design, afraid that the ideas in my head will just look rubbish on the card. I guess we'd never know if we don't go for it and after all, should the worst happen (unlikely), we've at least had fun trying and only a piece of card wasted 😉😉. I'll be interested to see what you decide about the second/third generation words on the right hand side. I must say I do like to see some faint text on magical scenes like this. Pleased you've been enjoying the lovely weather
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous scene Viv, love the red dragon and the fiery sky looks so magical.
