Listening to Nature

Recently, I ran across a selection of digital images on Etsy that intrigued me.  There were quite a few that the ladies had long flowing hair or braids and a few that included birds.  

The artist is Mariola Budek and you know I had to have a few of these beautiful designs.

The first one I colored was 'Listening to Nature'.  Besides her beautiful hair, I loved the two little birds with her. 

 

I worked on this last weekend while I was out of town on a crafting retreat.  She gained a lot of attention as the other ladies walked by and peered over my shoulder.   

I used Copic markers for the coloring, going a shade lighter than normal since the image was slightly shaded in the printing. 

Just as I was finishing my work, one of the ladies who had walked by several times, decided this one was going home with her.  She didn't want her on a card, but planned on framing her.  What an honor! 

I then trimmed the image up a bit, and die cut the edge with Penny Black's Elegant Stitching.  I mounted her on the aqua print card stock that I die cut using the Tattered Lace Nested Beaded Chain die set.  

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
