Another Messy Crafter: Something with wings...

This week at Stamp Something we want to see Something With Wings on your projects.

This weeks sponsor is Simon Says Stamp.

There are two things I love on my card...the rest I'm not so keen on. First I absolutely adore that image, its from Emerald Faeries, I won it at their blog hop and couldn't wait to colour it up! The sentiment is a quote I typed up in Gimp using one of Nestie-friendly frame digis from Whimsy Stamps.

The second thing I adore are these absolutely stunning papers from Basic Grey. That pad is called Hello Luscious and oh when I saw these colours my knees went weak.

Yes. It happens. For papers. Ribbon. Lace. Occasionally for hubby too. Which is probably why he puts up with my overflowing crafts room. lol

I wanted very soft gradiates here and mild colours so used a lot of tip-to-tip colouring.

Copic colours:
Skin: E0000/000/01/00/21
Hair: E44/43/41/87
purples: V05/91, RV66/63
Greens: YG0000/00/21/03/25
Blues: BG000/75/32, G00
Wings:R0000/17, Y18, YR30
Sky:00, BG07, Y18, R17, R000, Y0000, B0000

Thank you so much for visiting!
