Mornin' y'all! We pretty much had another blizzard (not the Dairy Queen kind) move through here last night, I kept waking up all night because the wind was so loud all around the house. Last week the last of the snow had finally melted for one brief, shining moment (to borrow a line from Camelot) and now we're back to the backyard being mostly covered again. Seems like the snow is done falling, but the wind is still kicking up. I haven't looked in the front to see what the street looks like yet. I'm just glad that I don't have to go anywhere today : )
Which leads me perfectly to today's card:
AAAAHHHHH I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS DRAGON! Yep, we're going non-SU! for today's card, this dragon is from the set Grumpy Dragons by Whimsy Stamps and I am so tickled to have them in my collection, for I, too, am a grumpy dragon. The greeting stamp is by The Ink Road and I love that too. This card will be going to my pal Krissy who is just as introverted as I am. I also got some T. Rex stamps in this same style so I need to make her more dino cards.
The Paper Players challenge this week gave me the perfect excuse to ink up this dragon for the first time:
And I used the colors from Color Hues:
I used Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist for the main colors, with some Granny Apple Green for the dragon's spines. I found the black stripey paper in my stash and only had to trim about a quarter inch off the length to fit on my card. I had so much fun making this.
Ooh, cinnamon rolls are ready to come out of the oven. Cheers, peeps!

It's the perfect card for introverts, and both the dragon and the sentiment brought a smile to my face! I love the way his claws wrap around the strip of patterned paper. Such a fun card; thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues! (Here's hoping the snow is gone for good very soon.)
Christy... so cute! I have never seen that snarky dragon...what fun! especially with the perfect sentiment! Thanks so much for joining The Paper Players this week.
Christy that dragon is just the best! So fun with the sentiment too and I love the lemon-lime combo with the black vertical stripes for a little extra detail. A fabulous CAS card! Thanks for playing along with our Clean and Simple Challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
OMG! This is perfect!!! I could not love this anymore! Yes, I am an introvert! Thanks for making me smile and for playing at Color Hues. Your creativity with our colors was awesome!
You've given me a smile to start the day with that snarky dragon. Love how he's peeping out from behind the door. The sentiment couldn't be better - I think I'd send that card to myself! Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.

I think we can all identify with this grumpy dragon at least some time in our lives! LOVE the expression on his face and it's perfect for our challenge! Thanks for playing!
