April Challenge at Crafting With An Attitude

It's time for a new challenge over at Crafting With An Attitude. Our sponsor this month is A Day For Daises and I'm sad to say that after this they will no longer be sponsoring any blog challenges. The winner will receive a $12 voucher to spend on anything in the store. 

I had a birthday coming up for my friend's little girl back home, and I chose the perfect image for her. (I've been told that she thinks it's her in the picture, so a definite win!). 'Holding Fireflies with Wings' is actually a freebie in the shop that I downloaded a while ago and hadn't actually used yet. It's such a sweet image for a little girl. I dressed it up with a simple background of grass and sky. 

Products I have used to create my card:

• Michael's Kraft card blank
• Embossing folder (free from a magazine)
• Spellbinders frame die
• DoCrafts sticky ribbon
• Yellow Ranger Stickles
• ProMarkers - Apricot, Saffron, Blush, Satin, Raw Sienna, Mustard, Tulip, Buttercup, Antique Pink, Pastel Pink, Pale Pink, Black, Aegean, Cyan, Duck Egg, Cool Aqua, Pumpkin, Amber, Cool Grey 1 & 3, Powder Blue, Pine, Forest, Apple, Cobalt, Sky Blue & Canary

Fearless Framed

I recently discovered The Fantasy Art of Molly Harrison, thanks to Alyce at Kit & Clowder using one of her images for a monthly class, and I've totally fallen in love.  Her style of fairy wings is so beautiful and all the images are very detailed.  She has colouring books as well as digital stamps and there are even quite a few free colouring pages on the website. 
I needed a gift for my neighbour and decided to colour up one of the images (called 'Fearless') to frame for him.  (I was originally going to use this for his card, but decided I loved it so much I had to frame it!).
I was going for a suede look on the clothing and tried a different colour combo than I normally use in the browns.  I'm so pleased with how it turned out. 

The frame is from Michaels and the ProMarkers I've used to colour the image are: Cinnamon, Tan, Dusky Pink, Satin, Burgundy, Crimson, Cardinal, Walnut, Cocoa, Raw Sienna, Cyan, Duck Egg, Cool Aqua, Canary, Lemon, Soft Lime, Blush, Pine, Forest, Bright Green, Cool Grey 1 & 2, Indigo, Midnight, Cobalt & Sky Blue. I finished off with some white Sakura Gelly Roll.
