Aurora Wings Freebie and Coloring Contest

So excited to be the first to color up this adorable Day of the Dead Sprite Couple that is currently offered FREE to members of the Stamps by Aurora Wings FB Group. This is NOT a gift with purchase. Mitzi is offering this image for the exciting Coloring Contest that runs today through November 1st. The image will be available in the FB Group through October 28th so join the Group (if you haven't already), grab the freebie and enter the contest. LOTS of prizes for both coloring only AND full project entries. Full list of prizes in the Challenge Album in the FB Group.

Personally, I think this adorable couple could work for a wedding or anniversary. The sentiment says "Together Forever" in Spanish. The fun DP on the side panels is Bo Bunny and made for fabulous "wedding guests". The arch was cut with a Spellbinders Gothic Arch and I've used one of Spellbinders Delicate Doilies as a stained Glass rosette behind. The flowers on either side are the traditional Day of the Dead marigolds (actually Prima flowers that I've wet, smooshed and layered) and I've colored the bridal crown in the traditional colors, as well.

I've used inspiration from several of the challenges on the Outlawz forum to color and complete my card. Here's the current inspiration board for the Outlawz Tuesday Color.

And I've also tweaked the sketch from the Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge for my design. (Finally learning to use a sketch for inspiration rather than following it to the letter. Yay, ME!)

If you think perhaps a skully couple isn't romantic, I beg to differ. Here's an anniversary gift from hubby for our 40th. He certainly knows the way to this girl's heart!
