Doodle Dragon Studio Challenge #8

This is my submission for the DDS challenge.  We were given a template that can be viewed at
http://doodledragonstudio.blogspot.com/  .  I must admit that I'm a terrible distresser... I wanted the photo to look old, not burnt like an overcooked marshmallow...
The image is Dustin Pike's Stegasaurus in front of his Dino Background image.
The paper is from DCWV 'Fun in the Sun' Summer stack (2009) and a Stampin' Up 'Welcome Neighbor' pad.. 
 The sentiment is from Pink Stampers Collection which I heat embossed using Stampin' Up clear embossing powder and versamark inkpad. 
The sun cut is from the 'Mickey & Friends' cricut cart.
 The bling and ribbon are from my stash.

Enjoy my card!

Inspiration can be found at...

I thought I'd add this card to my blog to give an example of how "Pagemaps/Cardmaps" can be used for inspiration when you need a little. [ http://www.pagemaps.com/ ]  Monthly they release sample scrapbook pages and occassionally they include cardmaps.  This site is a great tool and I don't use it enough!

The pattern paper is K&Co and the rest is all scraps from my stash.  The sentiment is from Pink Stamper's collection.

Dustin Pike for Dad!

I had to do a version of this digi from Dustin Pike's fabulous collection for a Father's Day card.  Not to brag, but I think it turned out super cute!  The background paper is DCWV mulberry.  I used Copics and gel pens to color the image and added color to the white background with some Pebbles Inc. chalks.  Isn't it just too cute?

Doodle Dragon Studio Challenge #7

This is my submission to the latest Doodle Dragon Studio's Challenge.  We were given a recipe of:

any DDS image

3 Designer papers

Ribbon

Bling

I used Mod Podge to add shine to the boots and umbrella and my favorite Anna Griffin Clear Glass Finish to the raindrops and puddle for shine and depth.

The papers are from last years DCWV Spring Stack along with some textured DCWV paper.

A MS around the border punch and some bling from my stash finished it off.  The stamp is a $1 Clear Stamp from JoAnn's.  Hope you like it.
