Hello
Every month over at the Gecko Galz blog we have the monthly free image challenges, as well as the main blog challenge, posted on the first day of each month..
There is a monthly card challenge, the monthly Christmas Image challenge, the Fantasy challenge, the monthly ATC challenge, a Gothic Challenge and a Steampunk challenge. These can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the main blog page and you are able to download the FREE image there.
We also have the quarterly challenge. and 4 Facebook challenges.
Today is a rainy day, so I thought I'd have a go with this month's free Fantasy image challenge which is a gorgeous dragon. I decided to make my project interactive :)
Here is what I made:
I had some left over painted card from a previous project (the 'Ocean Life' shaker booklet) which was in colours suitable for the dragon background, so I used those. I die cut a 3 3/4 inch circle upon which I mounted the dragon. I used a piece of brayered, painted card for the background and added the alpha stickers to spell 'roar' as well as some sparkly, light purple gemstones..
The dragon was fussy cut from it's background and inked around the edges. I made a cut along his jaw line and adhered the two parts to a clothes peg. I tried to camouflage the peg by colouring with Copics, his mouth being coloured in red, and the ends of the peg above his head in mauve..
We hope you can find some time to join in the fun.
