SISTERS OF CRAFT - JULY ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE




Our July Anything Goes challenge is now underway and 
our sponsor for this challenge is

Aurora Wings


You know how sometimes you look at 'something' and you think - I know exactly what I want to do with that. Well thats how I felt about this gorgeous Whimsical Fuchsia Sprite. I just couldn't wait to get started

I printed the image and started colouring it with pencils, pan pastels, promakers and my water colour markers. Having coloured it half in - I thought it would be just perfect for layering up. I coloured each layer and shaped it before adding  

Then using my Tonic Punch and Stamp Set - I created  my fuschia flowers in papers that matched with the tones used in the sprite.


Once all the elements had been collected and prepared : Image, flowers, swirls, background and frame- it was just a case of positioning them and sticking them down ( I used both glue and double sided tape).
When it had dried and I was sure they were competely secure - I placed them into the frame 




I dont often enter blog challenges but this month have entered it into :
