Bookworm ATC

The Wicked Wednesday challenge this week is 'Bookworm' or 'Things with Wings'. 

I am an avid reader, so this Bindie image by A&T Emerald Faeries called out for me ..... 

Here is my creation :

Bindie is colored with copics, and I added a layer of wink of stella pen - love that thing ! I wanted to capture the magic of reading, of delving into new and interesting worlds, hence my interesting and magical background. The background is alcohol inks on acetate, which I added a text script to in brown archival ink and mounted onto an embossed sheet of pale blue card stock.

That was a really enjoyable project, I love it when things come together just how you pictured them in your head :)  Thanks for stopping by x

Stripes atc

What a cute image, this is Pip by A&T Designs/Emerald Faeries. I used her for my 'Stripes' themed atc at the Wicked Wednesday atc challenge blog :

She is colored with copics and prisma color pencils. The cloud patterned paper is from the Fun & Funky 6x6 paperpack by Donna Salazar Designs. I actually added a thin layer of watered down gesso over the cloud paper to tone it down a little ...  

I really wanted to show the water in all its gorgeous, fluid self, so I used liquid pearls in my favourite color platinum pearl. 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, please leave a comment if you feel so inclined :)
