I have been busy at the Canberra Craft and Quilt fair, three days have been already and only one to go!! With all of that inspiration around me, how could I not want to come home and craft!?! I have been wanting to work with this gorgeous image that I received from Jocelyn (aka JoBear2) a while ago in a RAK! This weeks Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/
was the perfect The image was mounted onto the green CS with dimensionals and then onto a scalloped pink Nestie (thank you Melinda80)
The image was coloued with Chalks and a blender pen, than added Kindy Glitz to the wings, for that shimmer we all can't resist!! This also link it with this weeks Creative Inspiration Challenges: http://creativeinspirationschallenge.blogspot.com/
I have paper pierced the corner squares to add a bit more for the eye to see and I also find that paper piercing can add so much to a card! The flowers were in one of the Blog Candies I have received. I went all around the Craft Fair this morning looking for small white flowers....they had everything but the ones I was wanting...just as well I had these at home - although I did pick up these adorable LITTLE flower brads in a bargain bin - they are perfect for those times you need just that little something to add to the centre of a flower.
