Sentimental Sundays - Bling it up!

Hello everyone

Its Sunday - so you know whats coming, another challenge from the talented team over at Sentimental Sundays

I've just come back from a lovely crafty workshop, been learning new techniques such as crackle glazing and distress ink techniques so I currently have blue inky fingers and am covered in paint and glitter... bliss!
Back to the challenge of bling it up!  we are kindly sponsored by ppinkydolls


This was my first time using these images and they are great for an alternative, and easy to colour as some of the shading is already highlighted on the drawing.  Also if your not confident at colouring - you can buy them ready coloured in their etsy shop.

Here is my take on the challenge - the photos don't show my bling up very well, but the row of dots coming from the flowers are very sparkly crystal gems, and the wings are covered with iridescent glitter.

The backing papers are from a pad called Blank Canvas from first edition.  I used only spectrum noir pencils to colour her for a softer look.  the flowers were Die cut and punched out and layered.  The sentiment is one from Lili of the valley.  I finished the edges with a brown felt pen to look like stitching and put on the crystals and glitter to finish.

Hope you like her - if your card has some bling and a sentiment, please stop over at SS and enter this week, or if it doesn't, just stop by and say Hi to the talented DT team.
