Just in time for next month's spooky season we have some new skullie goodness from Aurora Wings on the Showcase Blog today and of course I couldn't miss these! I happen to love me some skulls year 'round, but if they don't float your boat, stay tuned for some new Sprites and an amazing new Moth Fairies, as well. This gorgeous image is called Necromantica and I've made a slightly, okay, well yeah, pretty dark home decor wreath I like to call "Eternally Yours". I had some nifty black Spanish moss that conveniently had touches of red glitter that went perfectly with my color scheme and added some tulle and gorgeous red crinkle ribbon from DL.Art. Nice for Valentine's Day, Anniversary, or even a wedding for the right couple, don'tcha think? (You know who you are.)
Here's a closeup of Necromantica prior to fussy cutting. I've colored with Copics in my fave color scheme and tried to darken up the wings a bit using an almost full complement of Neutral Grays. Of course the roses just had to be red. Sooo romantic! The leaves blend in a bit, but I was trying to minimize the green. I generally don't write down my colors, but I believe I used YG99, YG63 and YG61, just enough colors to give a bit of contrast.
Necromantica is available HERE on Aurora Wings.com and HERE on Etsy.
I'm entering this decor piece in the DL.Art September Linky Challenge, Dream in Darkness AG Dark Dreams, Your Scrapbook Place September AG, Simon Says Wednesday AG, An Inky Mess (AG mixed media), the Outlawz Twisted Thursday AG, Altered Eclectics Sept (AG mixed media, upcycling, etc)...
Here is the second gorgeous skull image premiering today, called Skull and Roses. I'm afraid I only have a coloring for this image because I really wanted to color it on darker paper with pencils. As I'm only a beginner with pencils, It takes me forever, but I do thoroughly enjoy the process thanks to the classes at Kit and Clowder. This is the first time I've done a Design Team project using my Prismacolors and hopefully won't be my last. Just gotta remember to start EARLY if I want to get it done in time. You'll be seeing a project with this fabulous image sometime later next month, I promise.
For those of you who are a bit squeamish about skull images, There are several more new images on the Aurora Wings Showcase Blog that might be more to your liking.
And of course here's a COUPON good on ANY digital images through the weekend and this time, an adorable Gift with Purchase image, as well. Find out more in my second Showcase post HERE.
