Dragon Hugs

I fell in love with these dragons as soon as I saw them in the sneaky peeks at CC Designs and thanks to a naughty friend they suddenly arrived on my doormat. 

I've used two dragons from the set to create this pair of similar cards, both with a moon scene in a clean and simple design.  I just love this guy's cheeky grin!

I created the background by masking a circle and hill shape before sponging the sky in purples and black Distress inks.  I then used the reverse of the hill mask to sponge the grass in shades of green and finally drew in some grass and gave the moon some shadow.











Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:
  • Dragon: Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves
  • Greens: Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss
  • Moon: Antique Linen
  • Sky: Victorian Velvet, Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, Black Soot

Card Recipe:

Happy crafting
