Gentle Breeze

Here's a final piece of inspiration for the Passionate Paper Creations sponsorship week from me.

This was one of the first images I did, she's called Emmy's Breeze.  You can find her in my Etsy shop and if you've found the discount code in the Passionate Papers Creations banner on their Facebook group you'll be able to get yourselves 20% off my images :D

I've coloured her with ProMarkers, Copics and polychromos pencils.  After I'd coloured her I fussy cut her ready to go onto the card.

For this one I've decided to let the design papers from Studio Light do the work.  I've distressed the papers with a Tonic Solutions tool.  These have been mounted onto some black card.  Emmy was then mounted on top slightly below the design papers.  Her hair is also slightly outside the card to the left.  My aim was to give the feeling of a gentle summer breeze blowing when I drew her.

The sentiment is from Scrapiniec coloured with black Copis.  The butterflies are also from them and I've coloured them with to shades of purple ProMarker.

Hope you've enjoyed my inspirations and the games this week

Butterfly Magic

Today I'm sharing a very simply styled card to showcase this image Butterfly Magic.  I'd seen photos of huge moths and butterflies and thought it might be fun to try and recreate something like this in a digi image.

You can find Butterfly Magic in my Etsy shop - check out the bottom of my post for a 20% discount code off images in my shop

I've coloured the image here with Copics, ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.  I wanted the butterfly to pop so I've used some bright oranges and reds.

Once I'd finished the image I cut it large and distressed the edges with ink from Tim Holtz (black soot) and a Tonic solutions tool.  The image has been mounted onto some distressed black card.

Added to this just to add a little more interest are a few rhine stones, two silver dragonfly beads and I've also stencilled the word beauty in black soot ink onto the card.

This has been created as part of the inspiration for the Passionate Paper Creations sponsorship event for this week :D

Movement

If you've not seen this image before it's called Flamanco.  I originally did a water colour painting with this image (years ago) so when I started drawing again I recreated it from the painting.

This is one of my images you can find in my Etsy shop that shows movement in the image.  I just love the flow of material in this dress!  Its also a good one to pratice folds, so far I've coloured it two different ways.  If you've joined me from the Passionate Paper Creations and Friends Facebook group you'll have a special discount code to get you 20% off my images - check their banner ;)

There will be lots of inspiration from my fab design team ladies and also Rhea's lovely ladies. Also make sure you check out their blog this week where there will be some more inspiration

So how did I create this..........

I've used ProMarkers, Copics and polychromos pencils to colour the image with.  I cut a large square around the image then doodled a border.

Design papers I've used for this card are from Lili of the Valley and 13arts.  I've also used some black card.

The DANCE sentiment was cut out from the same purple design paper using a die cut set from Sizzi.

My final touch for this card was to use one sequin and several rhine stones.

Hope you like my first inspiration for this week
