Beccy's Place runs a month of Holiday Cards challenge throughout November. Most days are a prompt with the letter of the alphabet but as there are only 26 then we get a random prompt too.
The prompt for Day 15 is Tartans, Plaids & Checks
Every now and again I get a request from a friend to make a card for them. I try to personalise them to the recipient as much as possible. Sometimes it is a loose brief, sometimes a bit more specific.
In this case I was asked to incorporate a dinosaur. I found this image in my digital stamps from Doodle Dragon Studios. The dinosaur was without the sign, just his claws overhanging a wall or perhaps holding something so I drew a box on the computer and added the text before I printed it out.
This was then coloured with Promarkers and I would have added some glitter to the hat but was told in no uncertain terms that no glitter was allowed....
The base card was covered in the check paper in traditional Christmas colours as I thought this would be acceptable for a boy.
His Grandad loved it, I hope Austin does too.

I'm sure Austin will get a big kick out of seeing his name on the front of a card Mandy, especially with a big old dinosaur! You did a great job coordinating the papers with your coloured image. Fabulous!
