It's Tuesday and time for a new throwdown! Okay, it's really time for a new
Tuesday Throwdown challenge and this week it's anything goes. Our wonderful sponsor is
Sparkle N Sprinkle. They've been in business for 20 years so you know they're doing something right! They kindly allowed me to pick the image for today's post. Honestly , I can say I got so side tracked looking at all their offerings that 2 hours disappeared from my day. Please check them out along with the TT design team's creations
The image I picked was
Christmas Spirit Fairy Digital Set. This set contains black and white images (jpg and png), colored images, 4 sentiments and a cutting file. Bargin!
I printed off a black and white image as needed some coloring therapy. The color palette is from a paper pad my friend Legs sent me and my intent was to use a sheet as background. Didn't happen because I loved how the colors looked on the fairy and didn't want them to compete. She's colored with Copics. The background is Twinkling H2O's. Of course, I twisted my own arm and worked in just a bit of glitter...
The card is so beautiful in person; soft colors, shimmery background and sparkly wings, dress and snowflake. The card blank has a wonderful color shift from pearly blue to silvery gray (which I've discovered is extremely hard to photograph) and a ribbon texture. I'm loading the best I could capture.

I love this Christmas fairy! What struck me is how beautiful you coloured her and I love those wings...what colour did you use and what medium? Distress inks? Twinkling H2O’s? Just lovely
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely words Birgit. Sadly I didn't keep track of the colors but I used Copics in the red-violet or RV family. I will see if I can recreate and will update reply with the actual numbers. After I colored I did 2 coats of clear Wink of Stella. Love the sparkle it gives. H2Os are the background sky and snowflakes. No Distress Inks.
DeleteBeautiful

ReplyDeletethe closeups really show the detail much better, especially the sparkle on her wings! Beautifully created and so pretty!
