I'm sure we've all heard of fairies but how many of us know about Ice Fairies? Usually, fairies go underground and hide in their homes where it's warm throughout the cold snowy months of winter. But there's a special breed of Ice Fairies who dearly love the cold weather. They score our windows with frost paintings and hang icicles from the eaves and tree branches.
This beautiful image must be a clan leader among the Ice Fairies - she's just so glamorous and elegant. This image is from AuroraWings and I had so much fun bringing her alive with color.
I used polychromos pencils to color her and blended everything with gamsol. I added touches of white gel ink to certain spots and did her lips and eyes with ProMarkers. I die cut the image with one of my favorite dies from Spellbinders. I trimmed off a tiny point on each end for a smoother shape and then I inked the edges.
The pale blue paper with the tiny snowflakes came from DCWV's "Winter Magic" stack, something I've had in my stash for several years and I'm still working my way through it. For embellishment, I added one small hand-sewn bow with a pearl.
