I started off colouring in this gorgeous Meredith Dillman digi stamp in shades of gold and green... but then I also added red to the dress and somehow the colour scheme became rather Christmassy and festive! :)
I love the detail of this image. It's called Steampunk Fairy and it's gorgeous... all the ruffles of her dress, the gemstones and metalwork, the intricate weave of her hair, the beautiful art deco-ish scrollwork of the frame. I coloured her in with my Promarkers and also dug out my Flexmarkers to add a delicate pink colourwash to the background:
I used a steampunk-themed frame mask for the base card, spritzing over it with golden Smooch Spray and then rubbing Inka Gold over it.
I attached the coloured dig stamp using foam pads and added die-cut leafy flourishes cut from gold card and some wooden flowery/doily shapes coloured with Inka Gold. To finish off I added a die-cut butterfly and some dabs of red and green Stickles.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are not feeling too "festive"ed-out! :)
