I thought I'd try out a new technique with these little ones - I wanted to show scales on them using my blender pen. All I did was colour the little dragons (my daughter chose purple for the first one and green for the second). Then, using my colourless blender pen from Copic, I created dots in the the shaded areas by holding my pen for a few seconds, which leaves a whitish dot. I'm really happy with how their tiny scales turned out.
I added some gloss to their spikes, eyes and shell. I also put a little clear Stickles on their wings for shimmer. Here's a closeup so you can see the details
You can see the sparkle in their wings now, and the shine that I put on the bottom of the eggs. There's also some Liquid Pearls dotted around.
I'm including this card in the following challenges:
