SS434 - Lotus Sprite in Pink

It's Saturday and that means a new sketch at Sketch Saturday - here it is:

and here is my card:

I used a digi called Lotus Sprite from Aurora Wings and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. Yes, I need to work some more on my coloring skills :)
On the background squares (Melon Mambo) I used different embossing folders and highlighted the patters a bit with white ink. Sentiment is from Stampin Up.

Here is the newest sketch from Sketch Saturday Challenge

and here is my take on it:

The image is by Aurora Wings - might be retired though, because I can't find it anywhere . It's colored with alcohol markers and I added some gold details on some of the yellow flowers. Papers are from BoBunny, metalic CS is from DCWV. Sentiment is from Stampin Up.

Aurora Wings - Princess of the Sea

This is my very first card featuring an Aurora Wings digi..I loved them for some time, but felt quite intimidated by their complexity.. but I did it and here is my first creation:

 and a little detail

The image is called Princess of the Sea and I'll use it for my niece's 13th birthday. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers (the ribbon too) and then added little touches of silver and couple of gems.
