Just for a change I made a card for fun. I have used a Ching-chou Kuik image called Dark Lilies that I think is absolutely gorgeous. She has such soulful eyes.
She is straight cut and layered up on 3 different pastel mirror boards. The corner is from Tattered lace. The backing paper, ribbon, heart slider and gems are from my stash.
She is coloured with promarkers and I added white gel pen for more definition. I glazed her eyes with glossy accents and then stickles to the bird and flower stamens.
I created the background around her with my Craftwell E-brush, still waiting to get the Promarker attachment for it, but they are planning on releasing one. You get 3 Spectrum Noir pens with the brush fortunately a blue and a green which I blended together on the paper. I totally adore this tool and used Pebeo Drawing Gum to mask her off before spraying. This then just rubs off to reveal the image, much quicker than making a mask. (available from Crafters Companion)
The inside does match the front.
I am entering the following challenges :-
Fussy and Fancy challenge #131 - Things with wings(there is a bird on it :))
Without Words January challenge - Dreaming of Spring
Ching-Chou Kuic January Challenge - add some ribbon and flowers (hope the floral corner counts)
