This is for Miss Maura's fabulous colour challenge. I finally got around to organising my digi stamps and came across this image from A Daisy a Day that I bought several years ago.
Working in MS Word, I pasted the image in the original size and orientation, then I flipped the image and added that to the sheet. Next I reduced the image to 90% and then 80%, making sure to paste her in the original and flipped orientation in each size.
I save the A4 sheet to my computer so I can quickly print off extra copies to colour when ever I feel like it (cheaper than an adult colouring book).
The smaller ballerina didn't look quite right, so I added an extra layer to her skirt, using the bottom half of a larger image.
The girls are coloured with Prismacolour pencils and blended with Zest-It and then a few swishes of Copics markers was applied over the top.
Thanks so much for looking, I hope you are having a happy, inky week.
