Hello everyone: Some years ago, my aunt Norma (on my hubby's side) gifted me with about 25 amazing, plain red rubber Fairy stamps. She found them at a thrift store in a cardboard box, dirty and abandoned so, knowing how much I love Faeries, she bought the whole lot for about $10.00
Almost all of them have never been inked up, just about 5 had some ink stains so, after I washed them and dry them really well, I started stamping the images and let me tell you, all of them were stunning.
I've used them several times, you can check a few HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE, can you see why I just adore these stamps?
Among them, there was this particular one of a fledgling Dragon, I think it's just so darling and so sweet.
I stamped this cutie on a piece of watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored with a bit of Sakura Koi purples and added shading with Prismacolor pencils. I also added a bit of gold paint to its wings, I sure hope you can see it.
I sponged the sky and the mountains with Distress Inks and used a stencil I made with some edge dies, it seems this little Dragon is looking out into the Horizon and might take flight at any moment.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The sentiment is from an old Flourishes set called "Orchids" and it's my favorite to add when I make Fairy cards. The little fairy in the corner is from the bargain bin at Michael's.
I'm playing along with the following challenges.
