Magical Springtime

Hello! I have made a card today with one of the images by Elaine Cox called Magical Springtime (sheet 7, Plate 52). This is one of the first times EVER that I have colored an image without picking my paper first! (Can you believe it! I am such a chicken!) When I looked at this stamp I got this image in my head of this rainbow hair and everything else being (mostly) black and white so I didn't even think about the paper, which did make it pretty hard when it was time to pick that out! Her wings have Stardust Stickles on them for some sparkle, and I used a clear Spica glitter pen on her eyes for a more subtle sparkle.

The Details:
Stamp: Elaine Cox's Magical Springtime (sheet 7, Plate 52), sentiment from ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection, sheet 2, Plate 21) - both from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Making Memories DP, Whisper White, Basic Black (SU), White for image (Paper Trey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,R20

Clothes: C0,C1,C3,C5,C7,C9,110

I hope your day is magical!
