It's another exciting day for Aurora Wings as we're introducing brand new Sprites and the final image in the Four Seasons series on the Aurora Wings
Showcase Blog. First off I have Forget Me Not Sprite. I had to do her first, because we have a patch of these beauties hidden in the garden and I think they're the sweetest ever. Gorgeous die cut by Jeanine's Designs, and ribbon by DL.Art. Sentiment from Elizabeth Crafts. The scattered Forget Me Nots were colored by me with the same Copic blue and a white Posca pen to match. The centers were done with Nuvo drops as were the tiny centers on Forget Me Not Sprite.
Here's a closeup of Forget Me Not Sprite. I colored her with Copics in the most common blues, because that's how they appear in my garden, but there can be multiple pinks, lavender and blues, even from the same plant (although mine don't seem to have gotten the memo LOL). She's fussy cut and popped for some dimension.

I'm entering this in the DL.Art July Linky Challenge, Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #86 AG, the Outlawz Twisted Thursday AG, World Wide Design Team Open #07 AG (7/15-8/12,
And here is the new Succulent Sprite. I've used the png version so I could print her on digital paper from the Burlap Beach collection and the Christmas Tree Card Kit (neutral textured background behind Sprite)from WeAre3 with graphics from Whimsical Digitals to create a little digital scene for her and added texture via a box top I distressed, a page from the Corrugate Neutrals stack from DCWV and some cool ribbon from May Arts.
Here's the closeup of Succulent Sprite, I've flipped her, colored with Copics using the colors from the watercolor clipart images from Whimsical Digitals. The sentiment is a Small Talk sticker from Tim Holtz. I am amazed at the array of colors these beautiful plants come in. Be sure to check out the Showcase Blog to see the fabulous inspiration from the Showcase team.

All of your projects and coloring are gorgeous, Donna! It's so fun to see such diverse creative approaches in one post. The Forget-Me-Not Sprite card is fresh and sweet in soft colors with lots of white - you've really captured the small-but-lovely beauty of this plant. The Succulent Sprite card with cardboard looks amazing - at first it doesn't even register that's what it is. She looks so flamboyant yet shy in her lovely surrounding. Beautiful! And the Puppy Sprite coloring stands on its own because of your mad coloring skills! Cutest, softest, cuddliest litter of puppies ever! Thank you so much for the gorgeous inspirations for today's new release showcase! Have a great weekend! Mitzi xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Donna, I just love all these creations, impossible to choose a favourite as each so beautiful in its own way. Loving the innocence of Forget-Me-Not Sprite you capture here, the zest for life with Whimsical Sprite in her array of colours and last but not least the totally cuddliness of Puppy Sprite. Awesome creations :) :) xx
