Double Showcase for Aurora Wings


EEEK!  I'm thrilled to be joining the Aurora Wings Showcase Team for a double release of not one, but TWO new Sprites.  We finally got some sunshine and it's beginning to feel like Spring.  What better new Sprites than some of the first Springtime flowers?  First meet the adorable Crocus Sprite available HERE in Etsy and HERE in the revamped AW Digi Shop.



Here's a closeup of Crocus Sprite.  I've used the png version, cropped the crocus clusters from her pigtails, enlarged them for the background, and merged them with the full figure to print and.  I've used Copics to color this cutie and fussy cut the entire grouping to pop on my card.



Here's the dimensional view.  The base is a Spellinders Grand Labels One with a white Decorative Grand Labels One on top.  Next is another lacy white layer from JoyCrafts and finally two cuts of Pine Needles from Gina Marie, colored with Copics to match the greenery of the stamp.  The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is Ghoul Green from Halloween Bundle at DL.Art and I've finished off the rest of the corners with adhesive pearls.



I was also thrilled to see the addition of Hyacinth Sprite, (also available in the AW Shop HERE) so I could add to my Garden Journal I'd originally started in 2015.  You can see all of the other pages and read about the construction HERE.



Here's a closeup of Hyacinth Sprite.  Isn't she gorgeous?  I can really see her on a bridal card too, can't you?  As with all my previous Garden Journal pages, I used the png version of the stamp, (flipped her because it worked best with the page design) printed it directly on the page, and colored according to the journal illustration with Copic markers.  Now my Journal is complete.

Aren't these two new Sprites just the sweetest things, ever?  Be sure to check out the AW Showcase Blog to see the gorgeous creations by the Showcase team.  Thanks to them all for letting me join them today.




And if this isn't enough, here's a weekend Coupon Code usable in both the AW Esty AND the newly revamped AW digi shop.  WooHoo!

And don't forget our challenges on both our Blog and FB Group.


Here's how to keep up with all that's happening at Aurora Wings.

  2. My hats off to you for the clever use of the 'pigtails' for the big backdrop of crocus flowers on the first project! What a great idea! It makes everything look absolutely lush and gorgeous. The visual impact is simply wonderful! And I adore the garden journal page with Hyacinth. I never thought my Sprites could look good next to a vintage style illustration, but your coloring skill makes it work seamlessly. She looks like she totally belongs there. I had to follow the link to your garden journal post and admire the other pages! Such a fantastic project!! Thank you so much for joining the new release showcase at Aurora Wings with such spectacular samples, Donna!! Mitzi xxx
