Another late post for me. One of these days I am going to
feel normal, but I am getting better. I know that I am fighting depression
because I have been coloring and creating at a sporadic rate and not my usual
every day routine. Bummer! O
We have an amazing new challenge at the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog.
I know that you are going to love this one. Our theme is “Sprite Delight.” See
I told ya! I know that the world is in love with Mitzi’s sprites, and I know
that a lot of you already have a growing collection of her digital sprites.
Why not add one more and join our “Sprite Delight” challenge. Mitzi has given you that one more for your collection. Check out the blog. Now you have no reason for not entering our challenge. You can create anything you want, but your project must have a fairy or sprite and it must be hand colored. If you use an Aurora Wings Sprite you may enter up to THREE times, but those of you choosing from another company must limit your entry to ONE. Please remember your image must be rubber or digital and MUST be hand colored. Onward to my project!

For my projects I decided to create with Mitzi’s Whimsical Dahlia
Sprite. Isn’t she a cutie? Dahlia Sprite was colored with Copics and then
mounted on several pieces of cardstock. I got a little carried away with my
Copic’s YRs. I wanted more yellow, but I guess I was feeling a little heavy
handed that day.
Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, R20
Leaves: G40, 82, 85, 99
Dahlia: E07, Y15, YR00, 02, 09
Background: Woo, 0, 1, 2, &15, YR00
I had some fun with my new flower dies and stamps. This was
the first time I used them so I still need a little practice. The links are
listed below.
