Sketched Face

Just creating a rough pen sketch to try and work into perhaps a digi at one point

added in a little pencil crayons to add in colours to see how she would look very quickly sketched

when you work in pen if you make a mistake you must just make it work so I hope it looks ok

I did also use a little grey marker just to add in a little extra depth in areas too

Tag Your It Challenge - Wings week 48

Here's what I've Created for This weeks Challenge
Called "KISSES ON BUTTERFLY WINGS"

Wanted to do a Circle tag and loved the idea of wings so I've hand and drawn out the little butterfly wings and used Prisma Pencil Crayons,Gel Markers, Ranger Powders to color them in and give them a little sparkle to them, they really are shimmery but the camera doesn't show them all up They are on a very thin sheet of tracing (vellum) paper and if you hold the tag in your hand as it starts to warm up the butterfly wings will curl up which is fun to play with and gives a lot more movement .. so you know what I was doing before I attached them to the tag .. Roll over for me little butterfly lol
The Tag says Kisses on Butterfly Wings which I've hand written with a silver Gel Pen and is on a chipboard covered with Ranger patina and then sealed with Clear heat embossed
The Pink border is actually little pink hearts the run all around the back of the tag to give it a scalloped look and A simple blue Ribbon so you notice the butterflies not the ribbon.

I'd Love to hear what you've got to say
Enjoy :)
