Fae Unicorn Challenge

                                            Today we are sponsored   by

                           


The theme is Clean and Simple
I chose to work with Fae
To keep it clean and simple all I did was color her
 with prisma pencils  her wings with perfect pearls  and cut her out

Here is a lesson on reading The instructions for which
 I could winner the booby award
I read Clean and Simple and created the above
When I went to post I read the whole which says no designer paper  grrrr
so here is my Clean and Simple with no designer paper 




                        Now IF there were no theme here is what I would do
                                   because I believe fairies must sparkle


                  I used a Spellbinder die and popped it in front of the image
                     I separated the wing so it could sit on the front of the frame
                                                with all it's gems and sparkle

Workshop

 
Went to a wonderful watercolor workshop 
Did several projects shown here
 
First above using the paint pods simply washed two cards one in red
 one in green
From the red we die cut poppies  and hearts and
from the green the stem



Then we did the "running or drip'' background to adhere the flower on
The hearts (which I can't move up from the bottom) are on a separate card.


 Next we used distress inks on an acetate and smooched the card stock
we practiced first then did it on a card that had already the heart sticker

Now on to markers  The image is embossed
we were shown to place the color to the center a drag it with a water brush
This part I had no problem with
Then she made us splatter over the finished pieced
I should not have done that step
