SITTING BALLERINA : A DAY FOR DAISIES

As a Design Team member of A DAY FOR DAISIES I get a first view of the fabulous new releases every week - how cool is that. Last week's releases were ballerinas - the most elegant in this theme I have ever seen!

Here is a card I made with one of the sitting ballerina, coloured in deliciously warm colours, almost autumn-like, but more fiery and hot!



To colour her I used Copic Ciao Pinkish White R00, and Warm Grey W-1 for the shadows. The rest of the image has been coloured using my regular coloured pencils and OMS, in a technique I developed myself. This colouring technique is the one that I will be workshopping at in2crafts@Hobbyex in Johannesburg in March.

I just love the way the dramatic colours of this image contrast with the softness of the image!

I intend entering this card into the Challenge #1 on the Make it Colourful blog, where the brief is to use all hot or all cold colours. There are some Copics prizes to be won ... and wouldn't I just LOVE those!!!
