Dragonfly Fairy

If, like me, you're a fan of Sweet Pea Stamps, you'll have seen that a couple of fabulous new artists have been added to the ranks of Sweet Pea Stamps designers recently. One of these is the very talented Charmaine Flannery and I couldn't wait to get creating with her gorgeous images.

 

The first one I chose to work with was this stunning Dragonfly Fairy digi stamp:

 

 

I coloured the image with my Prismacolor pencils.

 

 

I feel like I'm getting better and better at using these pencils and am starting to get a bit more adventurous in using and blending colours. I added some blue low lights to her hair in this image and am really pleased with the result.

 

I also added some Stickles to the dragonfly wings and a layer of Glossy Accents to give a real sheen to them:

 

 

For my card I coloured cardstock using Tim Holtz's marbled stains technique and inked the edges with black Archival ink. I teamed the inked cardstock with delicate shapes die-cut from black cardstock....

 

 

....and some pretty little flowers, with black Stickles centres.
