Have a Blast Card

This week over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge, our twist is to ADD SOME LACE, RIBBON OR TWINE. Remember, you don't have to add the twist to play. You can always enter an ANYTHING GOES creation! Hope to see you join us his week!
Our sponsor this month over at Twisted Thursday is Make it Crafty, and his darling dragon is one of their designs. To check out more of their digis, visit http://www.makeitcrafty.com

I used my Silhouette Design Studio software to size up my dragon digi, and then I did an offset file and used an orange watercolor digital paper to fill the offset file so I have a nice orange outline around my dragon. I printed him out and die cut him with a Gina Marie stitched oval die. Then I colored him with Copic and MEXPY makers, using a Wink of Stella yellow marker to go over the flame and give it a little sparkle. I also used some green chalk to color the background.
For this card, I used Gina Marie's stitched Oval dies to make an easel card. Then I die cut another stitched oval from the set to stamp my sentiment on. The sentiment comes from a CTMH stamp set. 
I die cut a flourish from Marianne die set and used orange stickles on it. I tied some orange twine around my image and made a bow to the side. The patterned paper is from CTMH.
