Hello friends! 💙 Today I’m excited to share a magical card featuring the November Topaz Dragon from Sweet November Stamps. This sweet little dragon is part of the birthstone dragon series, and I couldn’t resist bringing him to life with watercolor for something a little different than my usual coloring style.
I stamped the November Topaz Dragon and colored him using watercolors, allowing soft blends and subtle textures to really shine. The loose, dreamy look of watercolor felt like the perfect match for this whimsical dragon and his glowing topaz gem. I especially love how the lighter washes give him an almost storybook feel.
To frame the dragon, I created a circular night-sky backdrop using deep blue marbled patterned paper, adding gold splatter and gold sparkle gelly dots for a bit of sparkle and magic. Soft clouds drift across the scene, giving him a cozy place to perch while protecting his precious gem. I paired everything with pale blue striped paper to keep the design light and airy without taking away from the focal image.
The sentiment, “No one shines brighter than you,” felt like a perfect fit for this birthstone-themed card and makes it great for birthdays, encouragement, or just-because happy mail.
This card was such a fun reminder of how versatile Sweet November Stamps images are—whether you love Copics, watercolor, or colored pencils, they truly shine in any medium.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this inspires you to pull out your watercolors and give one of these adorable dragons a try. 🐉✨
