Good morning all
I'm back with my next fairy from Morgan Fitzsimons Flights of Fantasy collection
Yet another birthday card - this time for a special friend
(it feels like all my friends and relations were born in March!!)
This lovely fairy is called Darcy
I wanted to create a mono type image with just a burst of colour in the flowers, which I think are morning glory, they are usually blue or shades in that spectrum, I decided to colour her with my Spectrum Noir alcohol pens. Whenever I see images coloured in this way with a pop of colour it's nearly always with red, so I thought the blue would make a good contrast and that I'd be able to blend it in with the greys that I coloured the image with. I did this by transferring the blue directly onto the grey pen tip to keep it subtly blended on the image. I then added some sparkle - because a fairy simply has to have some! - with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens
The background was created by embossing navy textured cored'nations card then sanding back and embellishing with gilding wax. The black frames were also embellished with the silver gilding wax
- I just love this stuff!!
This is what I did....

Simply stunning hun, i'm loving the touch of blue too.
I'm sorry for covering up Mickey's face on his passport, i bought the dies, as they were £3.99 for lots of travel images, including a camera !!, which i thought was a bargain.
