My goodness, seems like forever and a day since my last post! Computer problems had me offline for quite a while and things have been a bit crazy the last two weeks trying to get caught up with hundreds of emails and more than 3000 Followed posts. I gave up on that last item. LOL Since I hadn't been able to print my digi stamps for my DT cards, I've spent my free time this past week getting some coloring done. Next week my schedule will open back up again and I'll be 'round to visit my crafty friends.
For today, it's a midchallenge post for Paper-Crafting Journey! One more week left in our Mythical Creatures challenge. Fairies, elves, unicorns, dragons... and the winner will receive 5 images from our challenge sponsor,
Digi Stamps 4 Joy.
I used this lovely fairy image...
I colored my imge with Copics except for the wings which I did with a beautiful pearlized watercolor paint from Yasutomo. Lovely sheen. The colors are a lot more intense in real life than this photo. (still more work to do with practicing camera settings! Sigh.). I am still challenged by getting the flicking just right, but I enjoyed coloring her hair. =) I've been coming back to this very mermaid-y color combination of ocean blue, blue-green and purple for a lot of crafting this summer. Guess I needed to get it out of my system now that it's Fall and time for rich harvest colors. LOL My card layout is super-simple, focusing on the image. Since I spent this week getting back into the coloring groove, the cards themselves are mostly white on white with the color pop of the image. I used the Copics to perfectly color match the layers to my image and added some flat-backed pearls. Simple, simple!
My Teamies did some really gorgeous work... head on over and check them all out on the
Paper-Crafting Journey blog!
Will be round to visit soon and will see you all back here on Saturday! Til then, happy crafting!

So BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Hi Christy! What a pretty card! Beautiful coloring!!!
You asked how I used the Inktense, and I do draw on the watercolor paper first then blend with water. They are such a fun medium to use!
Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for visiting my blog!
Hugs, Dena
