The joy of creating

Welcome to my post and my blog, stay around and peek into some of my past posts, If you see something you like, please leave me a comment so I know you've stopped in.

I've been pretty busy with DT work and work in general and finally things are starting to settle down to quiet chaos and I found some time to make up this Saturated Canary image 'Glinda'  She's been coloured with copics and will be used to say a sad farewell to one of my staff at the end of this week.

 Here is a close up of 'Glinda' with the gorgeous Wild Orchid flowers, there are a a couple of other flowers in the mix but I don't know the manufacturer as I picked them up from a haberdashery store and they had no tags.  I'm becoming addicted to these Wild Orchid Flowers, OH MY, I've had two huge orders in the past couple of months their prices are amazing and the parcel arrived from England to Australia super quick.  I think I now have somewhere around 1,500 - 2,500 flowers, that should keep me busy, Oh they are tiny so they don't take up that much space!

The papers are from a Papermania stack all blues, SU card stock in Bashful Blue and Marina Mist.  Pale blue glitter on the peaks of the Nesti border.  This was split diagonally in half then placed around the image and the gaps covered by the flower sprays!  The sentiment is SU and it's layered on my new Whimsy label die which is totally gorgeous.

Copics used
Boooo, B00, B02 & 0
Skin: E00, E01 & E93
Hair: E11, E21, E15, E23, E25
Baby Blue spica

I'm entering Glinda into the following challenges
