Turquoise Flower Ballerina

It's been another manic time lately for me and part of it I've been without internet. I do apologise for not visiting your blogs to see what you've all been up to. I plan to create some extra hours to the 24 we already have so I can manage to do everything I want to in a day. I'll let you know how that goes.
On the up side, I found time to colour some wonderful digi images. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love all shades of turquoise, so what better colour to use for this stunning image?


I used a plain turquoise paper for the background and wrapped it with a length of lace before fixing to an 8"x 8" card blank. Then I added a panel cut from a Bearly Mine paper. The silver frame was cut with a Spellbinders die.


I'm new to the Aurora Wings images by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff and this was one of the first batch I bought and coloured. She is called Flower Ballerina. I used Promarkers for the image and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink around the outside. 
I finished the card with some of my favourite Gardenias from Wild Orchid Crafts and added a spray of pearls.

It's back to the grindstone for me. I hope you all have a lovely day and suggest you visit the Aurora Wings shop and treat yourself to some of the beautiful images if you haven't already done so.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

  15. Hello, Andree
    I have every confidence you will succeed with the extra hours but, as you say, let me know how it goes! Your card is delightful; I too love turquoise (my birthstone). I think your colouring of this lovely image adds to the illusion of her leaping gracefully through the air. The lace is lovely and your other embellishments perfect as always. Vee xx
