I have had a few images from Sweet Pea that I have been wanting to colour in and finally got round to doing one yesterday. This is Sweet Bird by Elaine Cox from Sweet Pea:
Its a very dark morning today so I have had to play around with the photo in my photo editing software and this is the best I can do. I coloured the image with my Copics adding lots of Stardust Stickles. The image was then cut out with Spellbinders Circles and matted onto Centura Pearl cut with Spellbinders Tear Drop Circles. I cut out a doily in silver card using Cheery Lynn Priscilla Doily. The sentiment is Waltzingmouse stamped with Faded Jeans DI and cut out using Labels 4 and distressed with Broken China DI. Frosty border by Memory Box down the side and the holly leaves are a Marianne Die. Chunky white Frantage on the card corners and I also used Shabby White and Steel Blue Crushed Glass on the flowers. The papers are First Edition Silent Night - love this pad! You can just about see I used my MS Cherish Border Punch. Here is another view:
