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

Now this young at heart fellow is one of the new digis by the oh so talented Nana Vic and is called Mr Jones Puddles, oops just had a bit of a typo and called it Mr Jones Piddles lol. Anyway you can get him Here.

I have coloured him with Copics and have been practising my blue to purples shading on the umbrella which is the challenge at Make It Colourful this week. Now I have got the hang of this I really like the effect it gives.

I added some glaze to the puddle to give the water effect. The papers are from Paper Pizzazz Vacation.

Make a scene

The challenge at Saturday Spotlight is to make a scene. It was very tempting to do a another fairy scene but thought as I only did one last week I should really try for something different. I used Vintage Photo Distress Inks to colour my cardstock and stamped the 4 images from the Create a Scene stamps by Sheena Douglas, in the same colour. I coated the scene with four layers of thick utee to get a really nice glazed effect, had a bit of a disaster then cause as it hardened the cardstock bent so I had to straighten it out and the glaze cracked - I finally managed to anchor it on about five sheets of card and reheated to get rid of the cracks, card is a tad heavy now so I dont reckon it will be going through the post. lol.

The challenge over at Charisma Cards is distressing so I am going to enter that one to.
