ABC Challenge - Z is for Zero

Today is the day for a new ABC Challenge and this one is Z for Zero, and this means we want your cards to have zero embellishments - and I know a lot of the design team found this quite a challenge.
This challenge is sponsored by Lacy Sunshine, and today I decided to use a really cute image: Rory's Dragon Ride. Here is my creation:




I printed my image on Copic Xpress cardstock using my Canon inkjet printer and coloured in the image with my copics. The colours I used are: skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20, eyes: B63, B66, clothes: B99, B97, B95, B93, B91, B0000, C0, C2, C3, C5, C7, R89, R85, R83, R81, Y0000, hair: E57, E55, E53, E51, Dragon: Y11, Y13, Y17, G20, YG03, YG21, YG17, sky: B0000, B60, C00, C0, C1, C2.

Here is a closer look at the image:




Until next time, happy crafting...

I created the box and card using a 3D Scallop Oval Tag Box project from the silhouette store by Jamie Lane - you can find the details on her blog at: http://www.jamielanedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/10/hinged-tag-boxes.html

Here is a peek at what I filled the box with:
