A Dragon's Dreamy Day

Supplies Needed  

1 tube of choice – I used the wonderful artwork of Joanna Bromley which can be purchased from PSP Tube Stop.  You must have a license to use.  The artwork of this tube inspired me to make the kit and can be purchased together for a great savings at PSP Tube Stop. 

Font of choice – I used LD Funky Scribble - a pay font.  Childish should work just as nice here

Monti Circular Mask here

Plug Ins used:

DSB Flux - Bright Noise

Animation Shop

 "A Dragon's Dreamy Day" is a tagger size scrap kit created by me, Bev of HorsePlay's Pasture Designs and can be purchased from any of my stores here.

You can duplicate the original cloud layer and resize as you'd like if you want more clouds.
