I was looking through my images from Morgan Fitzsimons (now Morgan's ArtWorld instead of Fitztown) and found this one which I've never used before. I remember falling madly in love with it but then it just languished in the file. Today it got colored and now it graces a card which will probably end up being a birthday card.
The image is colored with ProMarkers and the wings have sparkle gel ink added to them. Here's a close up so you can see the sparkle better. This is my very first attempt at coloring black hair. That will no doubt improve with more practice but I'm satisfied with it as a first effort.
I don't know if the flowers were supposed to be orchids but they just called for pale orchid color so they became orchids no matter what they were originally. :-D Besides, that allowed me to use what is fast becoming a favorite color combo - yellow and lavender/purple.
I wanted to keep this one CAS so the only embellishment is from the die cut butterflies (Cheery Lynn). Those were cut from scrap CS. The image itself was cut with a framing die from Spellbinders.

Gorgeous card, so sweet..Hugs Lozzy xx
Beautiful! Love the shine on her wings and those lovely butterflies. I have so many images I've never used too! I think I'd have to live to be about 400 to do it though. Beautiful image and card!

I think you did a fantastic job of coloring her hair and I love the pearlesent sheen on her wings.
