Fairy Abigail
Thursday, April 17, 2014
Hi everyone! Today I am sharing my latest project for Live and Love Crafts using the beautiful and brand new papers by Reprint. I love how soft and whimsical these are... they go perfectly with my little Fairy Abigail colouring by CC Designs.
Even though she's wearing a lot of green and yellow, I used the colour wheel to find a nice complementary colour (opposite each other in the colour wheel) to do my embellishments. By using opposing colours in the colour wheel you can create maximum contrast and stability to the eye.
Here are the copic colours I used to colour her up:

ReplyDeleteVery striking colouring! I even took the time to check out the video to see how you do the BGs. Beautiful; it creates such a dreamy aura for the image.
