A birthday card for another Game of Thrones fan - a House Targaryen dragon-lover. :) The Targaryen dragon was referenced from a banner online - traced and cut by hand from brown cardstock. Not fun. I later outlined it in clear Aqualip and shaded in some details using Copic markers. Some glitter was added for effect.
To embellish the base card, I went around the card using the point of a circle compass and then threaded red cross-stitch thread through, for the ‘fire and blood’ element.
The dragon was attached using foam adhesive too add dimension. I mildly regretted this decision when I got to the tiny parts like the forked tongues and cursed having to cut pieces of foam tape small enough to fit onto them without being visible.
The greeting was written on tracing paper with one of the LoTR fonts - First Order, I think, I screwed up slightly and smudged the still-wet Aqualip ink - and I cut the backing strip out of an old Kinokuniya catalogue page. I then folded it and trimmed both ends into a ribbon ‘v’ to make it look like a banner.
