I am excited to bring you this adorable image, she is Primavera. The sentiment that comes with her is "Spring is the Air!". I didn't allow enough space on my card for the sentiment so I hand wrote it! Don't be afraid to use your own handwriting, it makes a card even more special. I printed her on 110# card stock and began. I colored her with my Copic markers. For her wings, I used B000 and B00. Her eyes are B18 and I added a highlight with my white gel pen. Her skin is E02 and E00, with R20 for her cheeks. Her hair I used E37, E35, and E33. The flowers in her hair and bouquet are R05, R08, and R59. Y15 for the daisies (at least I think they are daisies) with Y17 for the centers. For the leaves and greenery in her hair, I used YG17 and G14. For her dress I wanted to give an hombre feel to it. I will be honest, next time I won't take the dark color so high up but I like how it turned out as a whole. So her dress is RV69, R32, and R34. Once I was happy with my fade, I wanted to add a "diamond" look to the dress by using my white gel pen, however, I didn't really like how it was looking so I took my White Blizzard Nuvo drops and went over the white pen. The result is incredibly sparkly. I also took my Wink of Stella and went over the rest of her dress and her wings, I hate that I couldn't get the sparkle to pick up in my picture but the sparkle in real life is awesome. To finish my focal panel, I took my Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and did some direct to paper application, my result looks like a pretty white fluffy cloud blue sky. My card base is a standard A2 top folding card. I wanted some interest in the pattern paper but I wanted Primavera to be the focus. My patterned paper is from the Flirty 6x6 pad from Queen and Co. I used a piece of white and silver ribbon to cover where the two papers met. I used foam tape to attach my focal piece to the card base. And that is my card for today.
