Dragon my butt

Hi Everyone and happy Friday. Today I'm sharing with you a very lose take on this weeks CPS challenge using a great Dragon stamp from About Art Accents. This stamp would make an awesome tattoo I think. but anyways, on with the show.
I did some new stuff with this card that I've NEVER done before. Last week on StampTV, they had a faux snakeskin technique that I just had to try. I used a piece of paper towel and stamped ink on both sides so it was really saturated. Then applied clear embossing powder to one side at a time, heating it, then the other side. The Dragons belly and the photo corner are both this technique. Take a stab at a technique that you've never done. There are so many sites out there that have these and a bunch of them are super easy to follow. Hope you enjoyed your stop today. I'm so glad you came by.

Supplies:
stamps: About Art Accents-Fluid Line Dragon in a Circle, Small Dragon Head
Paper: Card stock- True Black(PTI), Real Rust (SU), Black Diamonds on Gold with Good Fortune Kanji Yuzen paper
Accessories: chinese charm, Paper Towel, Bazzill border in white, Glossy Accents, Clear embossing powder
Coloring agents: Versafine Onyx Black, Tiger Lily Glimmer Mist, Photo Brown Distress ink, Desert Heat Kaleidacolor ink, black Glaze pen, Black Diamonds Stickles
Tools: Scor-pal, Purple Cows 2-in-1 trimmer, Heat Gun


Happy Crafting
