Sugar plums dancing...

My favorite artist, Mo Manning, put out  a call for designers for her dream team. Her drawings are so beautiful and are so inspiring to me. This little gal is called "Little Sugar Plum Fairy". She is my submission for the dream team call. It is a dream of mine to design with such a talented group of artists. Wish me luck!!!  I colored this sweet little lady at the last crop we had honoring our friend, Jacque Crowe, who passes away recently from Colon Cancer.  I made my own background on the card with a stencil and the airbrush system with my Copic Markers.  I am liking the effect!!!  It helps it all match up nicely.  I also colored my gems with the copics.  Saves a lot of money when you don't have to buy twenty different colors of things!!!  The ribbon is from my stash, as are the sequins.  The pearls are from Amuse Studios.  I printed the little fairy girl from my printer using HP ink on Neenah paper.

The Seven Dwarves

I decided to do the seven dwarves. I first cut out the dwarves with my Cricut on black paper and then cut out each individual piece in white so that I could color them with my Copic markers.

After I colored the pieces I put them all together and began designing the background with their cottage, flowers and jewels. I airbrushed the flowers and plants and accented with jewels using my Irock tool. I only buy the clear gems and use my Copics to color them the color to match my project.

I had a lot of fun with this project!! I will soon be opening my own etsy shop to sell any items that I post. Any item I post can be ordered and we can discuss payment at the time of ordering.
