SMC Dino Reading

Good evening everyone! Sorry I am a bit behind this week. My poor DD is still sick...it's been about a month now...I think we will be going back to the Dr's soon. As if that wasn't enough, I have picked up a virus myself and have been pretty miserable this week. Anyway, I have finally gotten something done!
Here is:

Dino Reading from Sew Many Cards
I got on the net a bit earlier in the week and searched out some challenges and made this card with them in mind. However, I didn't pay much attention to all the days they were posted so we'll see how many of them this still works for.


One specific challenge was to make a bookmark card so that's the base of my card. This is actually a really simple card to make, so if you know any readers out there I recommend this one. I got the directions from SCS here. This is colored with copics, sorry I didn't take a pic, but I will list them up here later. This is the first time I've done a shadowing of any kind and I've seen this one around, so I thought I'd try it out. I really had no idea what I was doing...I just starting making little dots. What do you think, does it look right...any tips?

Here is the bookmark part. I've left room for personalization or a little saying, I haven't decided which yet. This is going to my little brother whom often feels left out cause he's so much younger, so I thought he'd enjoy this. I guess that's about it. I've left this pretty simple since it's for a male child. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are having a great week!

  1. Hi Autumn, this is such a clever card and quite possibly the best use of resizable digis I've seen. I'm completely WOW'd by it! Your coloring is perfect, too. :) Thanks for joining our Beary Sweet Challenge - good luck!

    I think your dotty background is just fab, I keep seeing it on cards and thinking I'll give it ago, but don't want to ruin an image...must remember to do it first lol
    Gorgeous colouring and fab idea.
