Graphicus Challenge

I'm really sad about The Next Level not running anymore , due to Anne being ill. It's a fantastc blog, full of inspiration and ideas, so hopefully, it will start up again some time. Mondays just won't be the same without it.



I'm posting a card today made using Elusive Images stamps. I have stamped and masked a dragon, then stamped and masked a tree from the Tall Trees set. I have then used Distrss and Adirondack Inks to colour my background. I then coloured my dragon and the tree base with Inktense pencils and ran a waterbrush over them. I edged my picture, my sentiment, and my paper, which came from my Graphicus Guild paper pack with Brushed Corduroy DI. I love the sentiment 'Meddle not in the affairs of Dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup' awesome or what?


I thought I might enter this card into the Graphicus challenge for July as I have used shades of brown and green within the same third of the colour wheel, therefore falling into the 'Harmonious' category. I might be pushing my luck a little bit, but I really like this image, so I'll give it a go.

Anyway, hope you like it, Judith x

    Awesome! Gorgeous images and fab colours. I love that sentiment - I was thinking I might have to put it into a sign for my classroom door!

    Oh, I love this! Your background is fab. I've held off from this set as I wasn't sure how to use it, this have given me lots of ideas... :)

    I was lucky enough to see this card irl and it truly is a work of art. Absolutely beautiful!

    Hope the migraine has completely gone by now Judith and that it didn't spoil your day with Jo and myself too much. I had a lovely time and so enjoyed seeing your gorgeous creations.

    Wish you lived closer so I could join in your classes.
