This is another of the new images which were part of my challenge win from Ching-Chou Kuik. This is my first time coloring it and I'm thrilled by the result! It's called "Butterflies and Berries."
I colored the butterflies, berries, and her face with my ProMarkers, then used water color pencils and gamsol for her dress, hair, and the sky/background. Then I thought about how I wanted to cut out the image. I dug around in my huge stash of dies, found one by Bo Bunny which was about the right size and shape for the image but it had lots of internal filigree bits which would cut into the image. So, I laid the die on top of the image, drew around the outside of it with a pencil, then hand cut the shape with scissors.
I wanted to frame the image so I used my newest die set from Spellbinders (thank you to Santa!) for the first time and I can tell you that die set is going to get lots of use! The frame is cut from textured paper which was a leftover scrap of 12 x 12 scrapbooking paper. After I added all of that to an ivory card, I found a 6 inch scrap of sheer, gold, ribbon begging to be used so I tied a tiny bow and added it to the top.
