Holiday Hair Gabbie

Good morning everyone.
Thought I would share with you all an easel card I have made for the FaeryInk Red, Green and gold challenge.
I have used Holiday Hair Gabbie.
I love this digi.
I have coloured her using Promarkers...
Skin-Coral, Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink, Satin, Ivory
Hair-Henna, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Sandstone
Bows/Ornaments-Gold, Canary, Buttercup, Cardinal Red, Poppy, Red, Holly, Forest Green, Lime Green
Lips/eyes-Cardinal Red, Red, Prussian Blue, Blue Pearl, Pastel Blue, Holly and Forest Green.
Green glitter rope wrapped around berry twigs and around the main image add extra sparkle that twinkles in candle light as do the little gems.
Aren't they just fab ?
The ribbon was originally white and as I have run out of red I coloured it using the Poppy Promarker.
Hand tied and twirled then added using a glue gun.
More berry twigs, poinsettia and gems added to act as the stopper.
The berrys, twigs and gems are from the huge flower bundle stash the hubster got for me.
I have decided to keep this one for myself and she will be sitting on my mantel piece in between the candles and tinsel.
Thank you for visiting and looking today :)

Faery Ink GDT Application

Here is my application for the current Faery Ink Guest Designer call.
Never thought my colouring was good enough but after joining a fabulous facebook group called Kit and Clowder I realized it's not as bad as I think it is.
Funny isn't it how we always think our own work is pants but others can love it.
I have now come to the conclusion that it can never hurt to try and at the end of the day I am doing what I love.
With that all said here goes....

My first project is an old favourite using Amber Heart Fae
You can find my card using her here
Even though she was only created a few months ago I can already see how far my colouring has come since joining Kit and Clowder last month.
My second project is one created specially for this GDT call.
I started with the intention of creating a card but was so please with how my coloured image turned out that I changed it to a wall hanging project to keep all for myself.
Yes I know, selfish, LOL
The image I have used is of course by Faery Ink and is called Gabbie Flutter Fae
I coloured her using Spectrum Noir Pencils and I love them.
Unfortunately the scrap of paper I had written the numbers on was thrown away by my (not so wonderful) hubster. The one day I leave my craft stuff on the table and he decides to tidy it up lol
Dies used are by Spellbinders and All Occasion Dies.
Lots of lace, pearls and glitter added. Finished off with a hand tied bow. plastic butterfly and flowers.
I even added glitter to the highlights in her hair.
Did I forget to mention I like glitter ? :)
Faery Inks images are so beautifully drawn and detailed it makes the job of colouring them so much fun.

Now for the hard part of this GDT call ROFL

1. How did you find Faery Ink?  I have always been a stalker of Mandas and first discovered this lovely lady when she created pixels. Even then they were so beautiful. Thankfully Manda has always kept the FaeryInk domain so is always easy to find.
2. What are your top 3 favorite Faery Ink images? Wow, now that is a hard choice as they are all amazing. I am going to have to go with my 3 current favourites which are Holiday Hair Gabbie, Holiday Tree Destiny, and Destiny Snow Faery. Why? I absolutely love Christmas and Faeries but on top of that I adore all the hair and decorations. The images are drawn so beautifully and I love the quality of the digi.
3. How many projects have you made from Faery Ink images?  100's if you include pixels lol. Digi's though, 2 on my blog, 2 (at the moment) in facebook groups and 5 cards for my Mother and sisters. Many more to come :)
4. What kind of projects do you like to make from Faery Ink images? (cards, art journals, boxes, candles, art for your personal use etc…) I primarily make cards and wall hangings but as I learn more I hope to expand my horizons.
5. How many design teams are you currently on? One
6. How many projects do you need to complete each month in order to satisfy your obligations to your other design teams? 4 , I like to work ahead of schedule just in case. I dread worrying about not getting a project done and will often have months of work ready to go.
7. Would you be open to a long term spot on the team? Absolutely, I would be honoured.
8. Is there any month between December 2015 and November 2016 that you will be unavailable to be a guest designer? Nope none at all.
9. Are you familiar with the WordPress blogging platform? I used to be as I ran my own pixel site via wordpress. Not sure how much it has changed since then.
10. How often do you post on Facebook? Too often LOL I don't post on my own page as much as I do on others though. I tend to post mostly in groups.
11. Do you participate in groups on Facebook? Yes, every day.
12. What other social media platforms are you active on? (Please provide links to your profile at each) Pinterest and Twitter (not as much personally)
13. Is there anything you would like to add? Just thank you for the fabulous digis and for this amazing opportunity.

Although you can't see it the paper glitters.
