This card is for today's Color Challenge. I was in need of some color therapy today so all my other ideas for cards were put on hold so I could spend some relaxing time with my markers. This was a virgin stamp image so it was fun to put ink to it. And I had a lot of fun creating a little red haired pixie. I did add a touch of green to my leaves and some brown shades to the branch but otherwise tried to stay true to the Challenge colors. I used pastels to color the sky.

Kathy, Kathy, Kathy, this is so wonderful. I always shy away from images like this thinking I could never color them properly. I was right. Looking at yours confirms my feelings that these little fairies are not my forte. Love the pastel bg and her hair.... omgosh, her hair is wonderful.
