Winter Wonderland April Challenge


At Winter Wonderland this month, we are hosted by Pat!
Welcome to our fourth challenge for 2020.

Our theme is:

ANGELS or ANYTHING WITH WINGS

So here is my card:


Please remember that it is Christmas projects only and they must include the theme.

Our wonderful sponsor is:
Sherry West who is the owner-designer of Sherry West Art is a digital and rubber stamp artist, colouring book artist and the author-illustrator of a very silly new children's book title "It's Raining Cats!  It's Raining Dogs!  It's Raining Bats! And Pollywogs!" (Morgan James Publishing) which is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and more.

She is a member of the Society of Children's book Writers and Illustrators, an ESL teacher, a published educational curriculum writer, award winning poet and semi-pro photographer who work has been accepted by Getty Images.

Married for 20 years to a very patient guy with 3 really funny kids, 2 fluffy dust bunny chinchillas, 1 huge hairy dog and 13 random cats.

Her art is being sold as rubber stamps by Stamp Addicts in the UK and has appeared on Hochanda twice.

Prize for the winner is a surprise from Sherry!

I chose Glorious Angel for my image, which I digitally printed on to X-Press It blending card and then cut out using my paper cutter. 
I have coloured the image with the following Copics markers:
  • skin - E000, E00, E21, E11
  • hair - E11, E13, E15, E18
  • lips - RV19
  • eye - B16
  • wings - B14, B16, B18, V22, V25, V28
  • dress - RV14, RV17, RV19
  • greens - YG11, YG13, YG17
  • oranges - YR04, YR07, YR09
  • yellow - Y11
  • outline - B18
I then adhered the coloured image on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.
As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Monthly Class from the awesome Alyce at Kit and Clowder.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

I will add this card to the following challenges:
