Jen aka jennifrann is hosting this weeks Teaparty for Barbara - pen pal of our very own Sabrina. Jen has challenged us to be inspired by the Traced Doodling or Zentangling tutorials found here at SCS.
Barbara loves the colour pink, fairies and nature. This should have been so easy, I love pink, fairies and nature, but it has taken me 3 days to get this right.
My mojo has gone on holidays, my foam blending tools are menopausal and I can't get the lids off my Izinks.
I had trouble blending the background until I realised the foam pads had dried out. A good spritz of water fixed that. To make the colours a bit more intense I scribbled some gellato crayons over the distress ink and wiped it over the cardstock using a baby wipe.
I stamped the Unity image onto copy paper and coloured her with Prismacolour pencils, Zest it pencil blend and a colourless blending pencil.
She was fussy cut and adhered to the card. I stamped her wings and carefully attached them. Hmmm something was very wrong - she looked like an angel, not a fairy. So I quickly removed her wings and decided it was a fairy on her day off.
I did the 'traced doodling" on fairy using a charcoal grey metallic pen by Kaiser, I also added a garland of Stickles.
Thank you for looking. I hope you are safe and well.

Oh, she is so gorgeous! I just love the patterns on her dress! You do such an outstanding job with backgrounds and fussy cut images. So sorry the mojo disappeared for a time. I hope it's back in full swing. I would never guess you had any trouble, as this is a stunner!

Susie, she is just breathtaking... I could stare at this all day. As you walked us through your creative process I asked myself "Three days?" I would need 3 weeks to create something this complex. She is really, really beautiful. I would put this in a frame. What a talent you are.
