Ace!

Here's Ace! You know what? I really like this card. It is so plain... it doesn't have any embellies at all apart from a bit of sewing but for some reason the colours just do it for me. I like it plain. I sewed on this card too!! I actually got the courage to sew, I did the first few rough lines in the top left corner, pulled it out of the machine went to look at what it looked like on the inside.... then worked out I had sewed with the card closed! That is why it is now layered on brown!! Ahh.... the lessons of trying new things!

Ace is a completely different colour to what I usually do dragons. I got stuck in a green rut! This time I coloured him in Baja Breeze, then did a bit of Brocade Blue in the dark areas, then Old Olive over the dark areas again and then Stargazer Twinkling H2O's... I went a bit overboard but he is a pretty cool colour now!

Congrats to trying sewing!! I have no idea where my sewing machine is right now...I miss it! I cam not sure where we put it after we unpacked from the move! I really want it back...I think about it daily...you would think I would actually take the time to find it since I am thinking about it so much!! LOL But don't worry, I have sewn through a couple cards!!LOL
You did an awesome job and I love Ace's colors!
By the way, I just opened up my store. So if you have any US customers that is costs too much to ship to, send them my way!
