Have a Happy Dragon

Critter Sketch Challenge #87 is to make a card or project with 

Green, Pink and Black.

I made my card with a really cute image from Digital Delights - Augustus the Dragon. The name Augustus suggests that the dragon might be male, but I think SHE looks great with pink spots!  I used the Spellbinders Fancy Tags die to add some dimension around her head. I think it adds to her regal nature.

Paper: Rose Red, BoBunny Garden Girl Collection, Craft Black

Markers: Copics - YG 21, 23, 25, R83, Distress Worn Lipstick

Embellishments: Spellbinders Fancy Tags, Label Six, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Prima Brad, Wild Orchard Corner Charms, Prima Pearls
