Birthday Wishes From Gavin~HH19

How cute is this guy? I realize cute and dragon probably aren't words you would think of together, but he really is sweet with his arm full of presents. I made this for my cousin's son whose b-day is next week..I hope it gets to Utah in time:-)I used Gavin the Gift Givin' Dragon from High Hopes along with SU paper called Jersey Shore from the Spring & Summer 2008 catty. It's perfect paper for boy cards. I colored Gavin in with my Copics and added some glitter to the bows and his scales with my Spica glitter pens. The sentiment is from SU-Circle of Friendship set and the buttons are a sizzix die (they are in the SU catty now though). I ran the Wild Wasabi piece through my CB with the Happy Birthday folder and used my label 2 nesties to cut out Gavin and the mat.

The challenge over at High Hopes this week is to use sponging, so I sponged the sky and ground around Gavin. I'm not a great sponger that's for sure. I masked Gavin and did my best, even tried adding a cloud or 2 (although it's not very noticeable). I definitely need my practice on this one, but I guess that's why it's a challenge!!

That's all for me today, Landon and I are off to pick Kirsten up at school!

Have a wonderful afternoon/evening!

    I think your dragon card is wonderful. This would be a great stamp to have at hand for my Grandsons cards!
