This is my third sprite in the past 2 weeks and I'm not done yet! lol I do love these sprites from AuroraWings and they are such a delight to color. AuroraWings is celebrating its 4th Anniversary and is requiring (for this challenge) that only sprites be used. Today's Carnation Sprite turned into a Ballroom Dancer. :-D
I colored with ProMarkers and gel inks, then cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. This card shows off one of my favorite techniques which is making CAS cards that look much more complex than they are. I used one of my fancy frame dies to cut the image and then layered it onto the card front.
When doing this technique, I always keep embellishment to a minimum; in this case using only a dyed, lace, bow-tie bow. I printed and hand cut the sentiment, then added it to the bottom of the image. With that, I was done!

We're on the downhill slide to the weekend and I have to get a bunch of prep work finished for a garage sale on Saturday. Originally, I would have said "yard" sale but since the weather forecasters are saying it might rain, we're moving it under cover. :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

What a beautiful way to color the Carnation Sprite. The die you chose just perfectly mimics the edges and detail of a carnation. Love this Sprite, and thank you for joining in the Sprite Delight V Challenge and Aurora Wings 4th Anniversary Celebration. ~Priss Steelman~ Guest Designer, March 2018
OMG, Connie! This is ADORABLE! Really fabulous coloring and she does indeed look like a ballroom dancer. Love the dyed to match lace bow and gorgeous framing. Perfect touches. Thanks so much for joining our Sprite Delight V/4th Anniversary Party (again! YAY!) at Aurora Wings. xxD Keeping fingers crossed for your yard sale, but we've got crap weather in the forecast both Friday and Sat. too. xxx
