An exciting new Showcase is happening today on the AuroraWings Showcase Blog featuring 4 new images and a surprise! First off we have Mouse Sprite, the Sprite version honoring the Year of the Rat that was released in January in time for the Chinese New Year. He's colored with Copics as are all of my samples, and I had fun furrying up his little hood. In the browns I thought he was cute for a masculine card and couldn't resist the "cheesy" sentiment. LOL That chees in the corner was from an old corner punch I found in my stash. WooHoo!
Also available in the New Release section on Etsy HERE.

Tulips are one of my favorite Springtime flowers that bloom in a myriad of colors. Here Mitzi has created a second version of Tulip Sprite that allows for the mixed bouquet of your choice. Tell me those pigtails aren't the cutest ever! I was excited to find gorgeous crinkle ribbon from DL.Art that matched perfectly.
You can also find the original Tulip Sprite HERE on AuroraWings.com.

We're going to switch gears a bit here, with this next one, to reveal the second in Mitzi's Zodiac series. Perhaps you remember the Gemini Abundance Twins from last year HERE. This regal beauty is Aries, a full size coloring page, suitable for framing, or reducing in size for cards and other projects. Again, the possibilities are endless, as you'll see in the Showcase post. Aries is a fire sign so I chose my colors accordingly, but she also looks AMAZING in the limited palette chosen by some of my DT sisters so be sure to check it out.
Aries is available on AuroraWings.com HERE, or check out all of the New Releases HERE on AuroraWings.com or HERE on Etsy.

And what's a Showcase without a coupon, eh? Here ya go!
You know how this works! Good through the weekend at either shop
So are you excited yet? Well, there's one more surprise! How about a Gift w/Purchase? Yes, this adorable Koala Sprite is YOURS with a qualifying purchase. I had this design in mind as soon as I saw these cuties, so I flipped it in my printing program to facilitate the design. Cradling her babies, this image just tugs at my heartstrings. Tell me they aren't the cutest EVER!?! In light of the recent fire devastation in Australia, this image is especially precious to us all. Hugs to all who have been affected by this horrible disaster.

And also don't forget that although we've discontinued our Blog Challenges, we've continued on our Stamps by AuroraWings FB Group with modified rules that now allow not only complete projects, but also coloring only and they don't even have to be new!
OMW, I love all of your work, Donna!! You bring each character/image to life by giving them each a story, environment/scene, and a personality with your creative flair. Love the Mouse Sprite card with the fun stripes and adorable paper cheese in the corner. The Phlox Sprite is so sweet! I think she will also make a wonderful wedding card, as she looks like a little flower girl. Your take on the Tulip Sprite is like a walk through a garden in the spring (I can't wait for the warmer days to get here!!!). Aries is a regal queen - she looks beautiful and powerful! And of course, the Koala Sprite with the babies makes me squeal. Your coloring makes their fur look so warm and fluffy. Thank you for going above and beyond, making inspirations with all five images for the new release, Donna! Fabulous post! M xxx
