Alyssa


Is this a pretty fairy or what? She is one of the new images that are currently available from Make It Crafty and is called Alyssa Elven Princess.
Being part of such a fabulous DT has really made me look at how I colour images and I have used this image to practise folds in the skirt and light sources. I am really pleased with how she turned out so think the practising is starting to pay off (just hope the Boss Lady agrees lol) The wings I coloured with copics using a feather effect and then sprayed with silver Crafters Companion glitter spray. Love the effect but I dont think you really get the full impact with the pictures. 
Circles are spellbinders dies the plain circle I put into the swiss dots cuttlebug folder to give added texture the diamonds on the layers are also cuttlebug folders. 

Heres a view of the inside of the easel card, the sentiment is yep you guessed it  a cuttlebug embossing folder.
 I layered the wings to give the image more depth and placed on the card with silicone so I could give her more shape, I did try to take a side view photo to show you but it is not to clear I was getting a lot of bounce back as the card is white pearlescent.

Oh and can you see that fabulous signature, well this was a pressy to me from the lovely Vickie of Nana Vic fame.

I am entering the card into four challenges
Charisma Cardz Mythical/Fantasy
Totally Papercrafts Clean and Simple
Fab N Funky Texture
ABC N for Neutral
