Last week I was introduced to a new-to-me digi shop through the Markers! Papers! Digis! Facebook group. The East Wind is a little shop full of lovely ladies to color up and this beauty is actually the August newsletter freebie called Aurora Marilyn. I totally love her big, beautiful eyes and up swept hair do. The East Wind also runs a challenge and the current theme is "out of this world". As soon as I saw that, I could just picture Aurora Marilyn as an interstellar princess traveling across the galaxy. So before coloring her up in all her silvery glory I masked Aurora off and used a bunch of Distress Inks and a white Mr Huey mist to create the starry sky behind her. Then I inked up this cool banner sentiment to tie the whole card together, the blue looks a bit jarring in my photo for some reason but it is a much better match to the background in person.
Okey dokey, thanks for stopping by. I'll catch ya on the flip side! :)

Stunning!! It really shows that you love her eyes - you colored them beautifully. The subtle streaks of gray in her hair are so effective. Just love the color combo you chose for her skin... and the background!!! This piece of art needs to be framed!! :)
