All the images are colored with prismacolor pencils (oms) and H20's
The dragon is is cut out and set pop dots....as is part of the star and ballons. If you look really closely you will see I added a tuft of hair to his head. I stamped the happy birthday on the balloons with the SU stamp set Amazing to Zany....just the perfect size for these balloons...and added embroidery floss for strings.
I used my label maker for the Hot Stuff sentiment...it worked so well and I was so surprised that I could fold it over like this on the corner.
The star I just drew on a piece of basic grey yellow paper...cut it out....and inked the edges with close to cocoa....added the button.
Thanks for looking!

I love that label maker tab! That is so unique and a brilliant idea to use it for cards!! ha ha, another device found to put to use for CARDS! So far I've used my iron, my sewing machine, my husband's heat gun (in the days before I got a craft heat tool!), the computer, um, I am sure there are many more things I've used in cardmaking that were never intended for such uses!
Of course your coloring is out of this world amazing, I so love the tiny yellow polka dots you added to the gift wrap and bow, and I love how you made his toenails stand out by leaving them stark white! Fabulous texture on the panels too; makes me think of dragon scales! Love this card, Ila and now you know it twice! ha ha

Wow! This card has lots of cool details to make it interesting and beautiful! Love the coloring on the image, the strings on the balloons and the balloons outside the box. Love the stars, all the stitching and the gorgeous dp!

You are soooo well 'tagged' Artfully Ila!! There is always so much incredible color, depth and detail in your cards and they look so full and rich without looking 'busy'. Your details are so beautifully blended that each one is a delightful 'ooh and aah' discovery.
