Luck Dragons

Hey y'all, I'm not moving too fast this Friday morning...I did get up super early (I usually wake up around 5 whether I want to or not) and did a workout like usual, but somehow I torqued my back and it is Not Happy with me.  Hope it feels better soon.

Anyway, I have two cards to share today, starting with this one:

As soon as I saw "dragons" on the Festive Friday challenge, I thought of Ancient Asia, which is a super old stamp set that I've had for years and I bought it mainly for this little dragon image.  Hubs and I lived in Japan for a couple of years so I tend to buy all the Asian-themed stamps.  Here's the Festive Friday challenge:

I used gold, red, layers, a good luck sentiment, and dragons.  I do have a couple of pagoda stamps in my collection so I may have to revisit this one.

Check out the fun sketch from As You See It:

Perfect for my bitty dragons.  I actually made a different card first though...

I do really like the Color Throwdown for this week but I just haven't been able to make a card with it that I really liked.  I thought it might be interesting to use this with the dragons, but I decided I had to do it in the more usual red, black, and gold instead.  Anyway, here's the Color Throwdown challenge:

That's it for me this week, kids.  I don't know if I'm even going to go up to my craft room today, I've been having a tough time with my stampy mojo this week.  Have a good weekend and stay warm, friends.  We've got lows in the 20s happening on Sunday!
