I love the soulful eyes on this pretty fairy that I colored for my Fantasy Journal. I've been using lots of Spellbinders flower dies because I need them flat to close my journal and, even then, my pages are pretty bulky. But it's an art journal so I have to use tons of gems and flowers, right? It's a rule. I framed her with an Anna Griffin die cut frame and created the sentiment page in Cricut Design Space. The colors and flowers on these beautiful painted mugs from our inspiration caught my eye: https://www.madeinb.co.uk/product-pa...-set-of-4-mugs

Nancy, your coloring of the girl is TRULY unbelievably gorgeous!! The added die cuts of flowers and framing does enhance the image even more. A GORGEOUS card!

She certainly does have soulful eyes, so beautiful to stare at. I love your beautiful background. I have those flower dies from Spellbinders and love them. I'm diggin' a lot of their flower dies lately.

Her eyes grabbed me. WOW. She almost looks real. You are the queen of coloring for sure. YES - you absolutely have to include gems, flowers, sparkle, and fun things in an art journal - it is definitely a rule (if you can't close it then it is done correctly IMHO). Delightful and beautifully done, Nancy. Hugz

Beautiful card! I love that fairy image -- as always, you did an amazing job coloring her. I also love the lacy border you put around her, and all the little gemstones you added to it.
