Colouring practice

I bought a class in colouring skin and hair from Kit and Clowder (http://kitandclowder.ning.com/groups) and, after my initial enthusiasm, let it sit unused.  

While I've had some down time the last few days I decided to revisit the lessons.  One of them was a tutorial using Spring Bling Wryn from Tiddly Inks.  Although Alyce goes a bit quick for me to follow along I don't think she turned out too badly.  What do you think?

Anyway I was pleased enough to use her for a card.

Although the colours are quite Christmassy, I still thought they would be ok to use for the remaining winter birthdays I have coming up.

The flourish is a new My Favourite Things die I received as a present from my daughter and her family.  I also got a city scape which I will be using very soon.

I also used a few MFT blueprints dies for the other small embellishments.  They really make a difference to how a card looks.

I'm pleased with how this card came together and I hope you like it too.

Pixie Dust Cloud

Hello again.

I coloured this wonderful Krista Smith image a few days ago.  She was a free image given to members of Kit and Clowder's Facebook page to celebrate 3000 followers.

Once she was finished though, Jen suggested adding a little sparkle.  She has a glitter pen which I used to add in a few strokes through her hair and wings.  I think it finishes her nicely.

I then needed to make a card with her.  This is what I came up with!

I stuck with the orange and purple colour scheme.

I added some more glitter to her wings, the stars and around her magic bag.

The letters are cut with the Tim Holtz Carnival alphabet die.

So there she is - magical Pixie Dust Cloud. I'm going to enter her in to the Kit and Clowder fun hair combos challenge for August.
