The Hummingbirds

Thursday, January 16, 2014

Hi everyone! Today I am here to share my latest Live and Love Crafts project with you :) This week the DT has a theme of "Seasons", and so for mine I chose spring! I used some of the gorgeous new Pion Designs Flower Frames papers.... I looooveeee these! The image is from Sweet Pea Stamps and is called The Hummingbirds.
Don't you love that gorgeous frame around the image? I hand cut this out of one of the 12x12 sheets of paper called Anemone.
I love the cutout butterflies from the Pion Studio of Memories sheet aswell. Here I have cut one out and popped frantage on the wings... and then put one of the ink nibs over the stem.

I used copics to colour her up and used the No Lines technique aswell. Here are the markers that I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20, YG91, Blender
Hair: V01, YG91, YG95, BG96, E49
Dress: YG11, G21, YG91, YG95, BG96
Flowers: V01, BV02, BV13, BV08
Hummingbirds: V000, V01, V04, V06, V09, Y35, Y38, E15, E18
Background done using watercolour paints

*This project is available on my etsy here :) *

Thank you so much for stopping by today and hope I have inspired you! :)

    Ohhh, I see why you liked this one so much! Not only a gorgeous image but I love all of the details on it and your coloring of the green to nothing in her dress is beautiful. Love the tiny traces of purple in her hair too. Just beautiful!

    Now I see what you mean with intense. Oh My Freckin' Gaud!!! The colouring is amazing, I know I always say that but now I mean like SERIOUSLY amazing. I love what you did with the frame as well. As I said; amazing doesn't do the image justice; it's a piece of art and it belongs in the Copic museum... or in my house. :-)Hehe; if it weren't for me being a poor store owner, I'd buy it!
