This card was actually created to be submitted to an online magazine, but was not selected, so I chose to share it with you for this challenge. The theme had been to use Tangerine Tango as the main color which is why there is so much orange, but I love how it turned out.
The image is Whispy from Saturated Canary. She has got some of the best digi images. It was printed out on Xpress It Blending Card. I used Stampin Up Tangerine Tango for the card base and all the mats. The dp is from Bo Bunny - Country Garden. It was just perfect for this. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, stamped with Basic Black on Stampin Up Whisper White. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Do you like those little squiggles coming off the flowers? It took me some time to figure that out, but all you do is NOT cut off the stems of the flowers, but instead twist them around a thin pencil or some other kind of stick to make the curlies. Easy peasy.
The image was coloried with Copic markers: Skin - E04, E11, E50, R08; Eyes - B0000; Hair: Y00, Y17, Y18; Clothing: G82, YG61, YG63, YR00, YR02, YR15, YR18.
I also used some Frosted Lace Stickles on her wings.

Love her! She is adorable. You had me at the leg warmers (gosh, 80's flashback for me...!). Love the squiggles, I did that last night butterfly trails, but the twine needed to have something to make it "stiff" so I used Matte Medium and let it dry on a pencil.. I will post it tomorrow.
