Here is my latest attempt at making a one-layer masculine birthday card: I started by stamping the dragon, then masked it with a square before I added the repeated stripes. I used two shades of marking pens to draw the center square, and used a pale grey to draw a shadow around the square. I went over the body of the dragon with marking pen to deepen the color and fill in some uneven patches. Finally, I used my trusty clear glaze pen to give the sentiment some extra dimension.
