For my card, I chose one of the super cute Karen's Doodles images - Dragon Birthday. I knew the moment I saw him that he was meant to be red. It was fate! LOL

I colored my little dragon buddy first using the R20s series Copics, and then went paper shopping in my stash to coordinate the other colors. The papers are from two ProvoCraft slabs I've had for a while. The balloons paper is very likely to make an appearance again very soon... I love the colors and the sort of handpainted watercolor-and-pencil look to it. I found these cute little candles (another Jesse James Dress It Up item, I believe) hiding in a little drawer while I was looking for some button-y type of embellie. I layered it all up and added some red Offray grosgrain and the ever-present Stickles. <grin>  

I had a number six already cut and I thought it made the perfect addition in place of a sentiment (except for the fact that there are FIVE candles on the cake. shhhhhhh! Don't tell!), and glittered it up with the same Stickles I used on my dragon's belly and the Nestie circle mat around my image. As a final touch I added a few frosted gem buttons in the corners. My fingers itched to put a few more little doodads here and there, but I liked the relatively clean and simple look to this. For a six-year-old, glitter and bright colors and one cool red dragon breathing fire is high design. =)

So... are you inspired to whip up a card for a kid in your life? Hope so! Do come and join us over at the SAS4K Challenge Blog and check out the rest of the DT creations!

See you soon, my bloggy friends! Happy Crafting!
