Now this is another unusual one for me. Normally I don't 'do' fairies. I've got nothing against them it's just I'm not normally into the whole fantasy thing. I suppose it's because I'm not exactly known for being subtle with my colour choices so don't tend to go for these softer images. I was printing off some digital images last week and always like to fill up an A4 sheet so added a couple of random Christmas images and could see this pretty little girl in a floaty lilac dress.
The image is from Phindy's Place and I have coloured it in with Promarkers. I really concentrated on getting my shading right with this image and spent ages blending the colours together but I think it looks so much better than the majority of images I have coloured. Still nowhere near Vixykin's standard though LOL.
The paper is by DCWV and the sentiment was already printed on it. I used the sketch at Card Patterns #94 for the layout and flipped it on it's side as it matched the image better. I added a double mat to the picture using different shadesof purple. A strip of card was punched with a Fiskars border punch and the snowflake brads are by Papermania. I have added a Sakura glitter pen to the wings and stars to provide a bit of subtle glimmer. Well it wouldn't be me without a bit of glitter would it?
