Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...
Time for another In The Pink challenge.... and this one was a little bit difficult to THINK about - but not to do - thank goodness!
Our theme is
MY FAVOURITE STAMP/IMAGE
Hmmmm.... now... there's the difficult bit! My favourite image will depend on what I'm colouring at the time - sooo I had to do some thinking - and some looking back on my older cards.... and these little Sugar Nellie Fairies come up over and over..... SOOOOOOO the decision was made!
I think I coloured this little fairy in blues last year - but I do think she suits her pink too! and she did need lots of glitter - no self respecting fairy is seen without her sparkle!
I decided once again to make her wings and star 3D - the only problem being that another image has to be printed out and then the wings have to be cut off - to use on the first. I get tears in my eyes each time I cut wings from a fairy (even if it's to use on another)...... especially if the rest of her sits in my waste bin for too long staring up at me so sadly... sniff........

Oh my, she is just as beautiful in pink as she was in blue hun, I can see why she is a favourite. Gorgeous colourwork, her skirt is so delicate and almost transparent with that subtle hint of pink. I absolutely love it. Hugs xx

ReplyDeleteI think this is my favourite card of yours (so far) this year. She's gorgeous Christine, absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI recognise those papers too Christine and I have racked my brain to try and remember who they were by but to no avail. One superb image and you have really done her proud, brilliant card.

Christine, I think you already know how much I adore this card! Everything about it is absolutely exquisite. This is one of my favourite SN fairies and you have coloured her beautifully. I am very smitten though by her gorgeous 3D wings. I love the way you have shaded around the image with the stronger colour under those scrummy wings. This is a truly wonderful card Christine, you are soooooo clever.

I think EVERY image is my fave when done in pink! Ok, this image is sooooo gorgeous she can rock any colour but oh, I do like this pink version with the gorgeous sparkliness too :-)
ReplyDeleteThe 3D elements are lovely...just don't get me started thinking about the poor wingless fairy in the bin..sob sob :-(
Big hugs, Kat xx
A beautiful pink card and I love that little fairy. Fab colouring! Marlies
