Radiant Beauty

Happy Friday!! 
Today, I am sharing a sneak peak of the new Faerie Poppets design line being released at Crafter's Companion later this month. The images and sentiment are from a set called Radiant Beauty.


 I stamped the lovely flower image onto Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock for Alcohol Markers.  To color I used my Spectrum Noir Markers.   For the leaves, I scribbled DG4 onto an acrylic block and picked up color with CG2.  I worked in small areas, blending from dark to light.  For a video where you can see Jennie doing this palette blending technique, click here


For the pedals, I used the same technique above.


I used a marker to create matching embellishments. I colored little clear plastic pieces I collected at a wedding I attended (well.....they were going to throw them away. :o)).  I colored the bottom only.


I also colored white ribbon to match.  I taped it down first and then colored across in a single direction.


For a finishing touch on the image, I used a glitter pen to give a little bling to the pedals.


Crafter's Companion has had several new releases. For more ideas, be sure to pop over to the Crafter's Companion Information Blog, as well as visit the Crafter's Companion DT members.  You see their latest designs by clicking on the names on the left side of my blog.
