Hello lovely peeps
It's the first Saturday of the month so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar. Our theme this month is "Mythical Creatures".
For my inspiration card I've used the beautiful Lucky Wishes from A Day for Daisies.
I pulled the black and white image into CraftArtist and used the Cutout Tool to remove the white background The decorative paper was a combination of two which I tinted pink and made 50% transparent so they would blend together.
After printing the project onto 300gsm watercolour card I coloured the image with Distress Inks and a damp paintbrush
hair:- tea dye, skin:- tattered rose, clover:- mowed lawn
I coloured the wings initially with 'picked raspberry' then added Glamour Dust glitter with a Quickie glue pen. Unfortunately I made a right botch of it when I tried adding more colour after the glue and glitter had gone on.
Luckily the wings were nice and easy to cut out so I just printed them off again onto 160gsm watercolour paper and coloured the second lot with diluted 'black soot' DI. I was a bit more sparing with the glitter second time around :o)

What a beautiful image, Katrina! Love the blended background. It really adds a feminine touch to the already very feminine little fairy. You've done a lovely job colouring her and the second try at the wings worked beautifully. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
Such a lovely feminine card Katrina. The background is perfect for showcasing this delicate image and keeping it soft. Love the glimmer on the wings. Thanks for playing along with us at the Watercooler Wednesday Feminine Challenge this week.
