Rose and Melody - Flutter By Wednesday DT

Happy Wednesday!  This week Danni is letting creative freedom run wild with another open challenge at Flutter By Wednesday Challenge Blog.  The only requirement is that you must have a butterfly, fairy, or angel on your creation in order to enter!  This week I really wanted to play along with Paper Makeup's Makeup for the Weekend Challenge so I followed their challenge for my creations today.  This week's challenge at PMS is the complete opposite of my creation with Ally for last week's FBW - NO layers and UNLIMITED embellishments.  OUCH!  Well, I'll try almost anything once and I love their Beautiful Day Fairies by Diem Pascarella so I gave it a go twice!

My first attempt was Rose. 

She is coloured with copics, surrounded by Prima flowers with Recollections bling centers, and completed with a rub-on from Crate Papers.  Overall final impression, she's alright.  Too bad I don't feel the same about Melody! 

The colouring went well but perhaps I should have searched for the tutorial I thought I had seen a few months back before I got too adventurous with a finished image. Argh! I decided that I should be able to emboss the area around Melody by simply using an oval shape to stop an impression from forming over the image. Yeah, well, partial success. The impression was not as strong, but perhaps I should find that tutorial! So I used some chalk to hopefully lesson the visual impact of the embossing on the center and added an organza bow across the top.  I added stickles to her wings, hair, shoes, and underskirt.

The sentiment for the inside is just beautiful - you'll have to read the whole thing on the Paper Makeup Stamps blog but it starts off  "Sing like no one is listening..." .

Thank you for looking! Please join us for Flutter By Wednesday and check out the rest of the design team creations here!
