Normally I do not enter challenges that you have to look at a picture and then Kreate your project around the inspiration of a picture BUT when my good friend Harriet saw this challenge at Paper Sundaes she immediately told me about it and we both thought it was perfect for me. Why you ask??????? Well the winner of this challenge will win 2 Sweet Pea stamps from ching-chou kuiks Fantasy Art collection. That was enough inspiration for me. If you have been following my blog you know this has become my latest passion!!! So here is my entry!!
What do you think? All the dots around her in yellow and on the butterflies in black and red were done with puffy paint. The jurry is still out on these but I wanted to give my project dimension so it was worth a try! Another angle perhaps to help with your judgement????
To kreate the dandelion heads I took some of that fuzzy, fringy yarn and tied it in a knot 5 times and then colored it just a touch with my copics. Gave it a hair cut and glued it onto my Cricut cut stems, from my Home Accents cartridge. I just adore this cartridge!! Glossy accents and stickles were added to her lantern to give it a glow!
How about a close up of our beauty!!!!
I of course colored her with copics and then chalked her background. A few more stickles were added to her dress, the wings of the butterflies, the swirls and the frame around her. I also put glossy accents on her eyes. A few gems added the final touch. I hope you enjoyed my interpritation of the inspiration picture.
