Sprite Delight Part Trois

Today marks the beginning of the newest challenge at the

Aurora Wings Challenge Blog.

The new theme is an oldie, but a goody,

Sprite Delight III.

This is the third time we have used the adorable Sprites

as our challenge theme because they never get old.
It's always a favorite of the DT who love creating with them.

Mitzi's Sprites were the very reason I fell in love with her

art to begin with. 

My Grandma's birthday is this Wednesday.

She loves flowers and all things purple.

I knew right away that the Wisteria Sprite would be

perfect for her Birthday card. 

   

I always end up going pretty CAS when spotlighting

one of Mitzi's images. I hate to compete with her gorgeous artwork.

This time I used quite a few die cuts without making things too cluttered. 

I colored little Miss Wisteria using Copic markers in the

Violet and Red Violet families. I saved the Blue Violets for her face and body.

I never color the Sprites in flesh tones. They're not human in my world,

so they get fantastical skin tones. I'd love to have violet or blue green skin.

Who wouldn't?! 

I added some Clear Rock Candy dry glitter to the frame and some

of her hair berries(?) and earrings for some sparkle.

That stuff (the dry glitter) is great for some quick bling.

That's it for me today.

Still running late from having such a liquid-filled good time yesterday.

I like to say I'm not much of a drinker, but I really made myself

into a liar yesterday. It was Valentine's Day, what the hell! 

Once a year (hopefully) won't kill me.
