Wish Upon a Star...

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...

I'm playing amongst the fairies again today (OK no funny comments please!) - and am here to share with you my DT card for Sugar Nellie.  I'm sure you've met this little fairy before (as I've used her quite often)..  but just in case.... meet 'Wish Upon A Star'.  Isn't she just gorgeous???  She available in digi form from Funky Kits HERE.

I tried to keep her a very delicate shade of pink... and to achieve this, I actually coloured/shaded more around the image with cool grays than coloured the image, to make the very pale pink show clearly.  I think it worked as I'm happy with the result...  I'm really enjoying experimenting with shading around the image at the moment.... it can make such a difference.

Hi Girls

I'm back as promised - this time with my card for this month's Sugar Nellie Challenge.  Again it's an Anything Goes type theme (as long as you use a Sugar Nellie image)...  so I decided to make another Christmas card....  hmmm, don't know what's come over me - I'm not generally so organised when it comes to Christmas..

I chose Sugar Nellie Wish Upon a Star digi image and had a ball colouring her with blues... (yes, the only pink on the card are her rosy cheeks) - but I did succumb to the glitter...!  Well what self respecting fairy would be seen without her glitter??)
