Swan Masque

Hi all, it's been a while since I last blogged here, tpo be honest I'm struggling with my creativity at the moment. I'm into my colouring with my promarkers, and i just gotr myself some Distress Markers, which are taking a bit of getting used to!

So I coloured this amazing image from Rick St. Dennis a little while ago, and I finally made her into a card for a Facebook Challenge on the Rick St. Dennis group.  There are so many images to look at there, for all kinds of tastes. There are some fab Halloween images, and some are sooo spooky, but of course my favourites are his elegant ladies. And this is one:


She is called Swan Masque,  and I coloured her with Promarkers, and spent more time on the Swan head dress than her hair! Such a fabulous image to colour, as are all of his images.


I teamed her with some Papermania paper and some new dies, from Sue Wilson and Spellbinders. As usual, I had trouble extricating my card from the Spellbinder die, so I tried again with the Cut Rite wax paper, and it worked like a dream. But they still annoy me! No other die I have ( and I have a few from several different companies) give me this trouble.


As the dies were quite intricate and detailed, I just added some sparkly gems to the corners, and left it at that.

I would like to enter this into
