Now over to Debs for a fabulous tutorial, her card and theme will be revealed on Tuesday………
"It's the most wonderful time of the year (ding dong, ding dong)"..what's that?... your not in the christmas spirit??...but we're half way through the year already!! and theres only 189 shopping days left!!...lol...now i have to say this is the first time ive done a tutorial and ive never been so worried...so please be gentle ....and this week we are being sponsored by the lovely Christine at Sketching Stamper ...I have chosen the gorgeous "Snow Fairy"...(hence the christmas songs)......and without further ado..heres what i did
i printed the image onto some 160gsm text and graphics paper by Rey which i got from Staples...
I then started by colouring her face using Ivory as a base then slowly building up with Blush..then Dusky Pink then blending again with Ivory...and doing the same around her neck line
i also added a little Pastel Pink to her cheeks and again blended with ivory...i had to be very gentle as the whole of her head including the hood wasnt much bigger than my thumb!!
i then moved to main body of the image...i wanted to try and add a bit of depth to the image through the shading... when there are no definite areas of shade or natural creases to the clothing then this is what i do...
starting with a base colour of Pastel Blue i colour nearly all of the image just leaving a small area of white as though the light is hitting it...
for the next layer i have used Blue Pearl... again covering most of the image but leaving an area of white and Pastel Blue
i then used Cornflower around the outer edges....
i then went over the entire image again in small circular motions with my Pastel Blue to blend everything together..but still left a small strip of white
i then repeated the process with the darker colours until i was happy...
and again a final blend with my Pastel Blue..if you dont feel confident leaving an area of white then a white gel pen will work fine to add detail :-)
i then used the same blues for the top of the hood and using Tea Green went round the fur edges of the hood and dress....
and then i also went round the edges and detail of the wings with Powder Blue leaving the other areas white
and finally blended a mixture of Cool Grey 2, 3 & 4 for her hair
it wasnt until i reviewed my piccies i realised that whilst colouring the hair i had caught the side of her face...on such a small image you probably wouldnt notice (well i didnt!!)..but if you do dont worry just go over it again with your ivory or blush and it will lift the colour back out...like so!!...(the ink was still wet when i took this and her face has dried a lighter shade more in keeping with the neck line!!))
well thats the end of my little (cough) tutorial..you'll have to join us Tuesday to see my finished card and to find out what challenge ive picked for you all :-)
as always any questions just fire away and ill try my best to answer them

  14. Totally fabby! Love that you didn't made it over when you spotted the colour in her face, just made it a part of the tut. That little bit of colour escapes from us all every now and then, I do that it does for me. :) Can't wait to see that card. Really sweet image as well.
