I have obtained permission from the artist to publicly share my card using one of her BEAUTIFUL drawings:
The artwork (image) featured on my card is called "Lana" and is a Fairy Tangle (TM), and is drawn in Micron pen and graphite on Bristol Board paper....Lana is 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
The extremely talented artist is Norma J Burnell, CZT, and you can visit her blog here. Please also visit
I printed the image onto white cardstock and coloured it using alcohol markers (Copics, and Spectrum Noir) and the highlights are done using a white gel pen. Here is a closer look at the beautiful image:
To make up my card I used the matted the image on dark brown CS, and sewed some flower sequins onto a dark red diecut:
The background DP was matted onto brown CS, and I added a twine wrap tied in a bow.
Isn't it the most gorgeous image - I am now a fan of Ms Norma's artwork, and would love to see these beauties available as digistamps - wouldn't you?
I really feel most honoured to have received permission to share this beauty with you.
Please remember to leave some love at the Fairy Tangles blog, and at these sites:

ReplyDeleteOh Jen, this is gorgeous and your coloring is spot on. Yep, this is Completely wonderful!!!!
ReplyDeleteJen once again the colouring is just stunning. Cant wait for our lesson with you. You just have to prepare yourself with the fact that I am not artistic at all and dont know a thing about colouring. So you will have a sudent with a blank canvas lol.
