Since closing the Aurora Wings Challenge blog we've resumed our Facebook challenges in the Stamps by Aurora Wings FB Group with relaxed rules. Our theme is always Anything Goes and you need not submit a complete project, coloring only is acceptable. In fact, your project does not even have to be new!
You may enter with work you done previously, even if you had entered it in our Blog Challenge. Can't get any easier than that, can you?
My Design Team inspiration, however is new and was quite a challenge for me. The gorgeous image is La Fee Verte, one I've had for awhile but had been a bit intimidated to try to color. I took a look at Mitzi's gallery for inspiration and then did sort of a quick color blocking with my lightest Copics so the page did seem as intimidating and went from there.
Here's a close up of La Fee Verte. She's available exclusively HERE on AuroraWings.com. After adding layers upon layer of color with my Copics, I decided the central image did not stand out enough so I shaded around the fairy and central roses with a dark umber Prismacolor pencil. I deepened potions of the black with the bullet tip of a black Memento marker and finally added highlights with a white gel pen. Ahhh, much better. The background is a combination of Copics and chalk. Then matted in black with DP from K&Co. Although it took me awhile, in the end I was quite pleased.
Here's what's happening with AuroraWings.
