Sweet November is taking a small break this month but no worries, we'll be back with new cuties from Sweet November Land in May! This means I'll be jumping right into the CC Designs previews today. :)
The Swiss Pixies are in the spotlight and this new girlie is called Rainy Day Birgitta. She has ducked beneath a leaf to avoid being drenched by a passing spring rain. Now the sun has returned to dry everything off and provide Birgitta with a glorious rainbow to brighten the rest of her day.
I decided to focus more on a color palette that reflected the rain aspect of this new image and worked with a lot of blue. To be honest, blue is probably one of my least go-to colors so this was quite the change of pace for me. I also had fun playing around with that leaf and trying to convey the green tone that it would cast down on her as the light shined through it. To do that I actually chose to use the E80's Copic family for her hair because those browns naturally have a greenish undertone to them. Then I really reinforced it by adding some of the YG03 to the highlights in her hair as well. I also pulled the YG21 onto her skin a bit but my photo isn't really picking that up unfortunately.
The sentiment is also a new one from AmyR that is part of the soon to be released So Wordy set. Speaking of releases... all of the new stamps will be available Friday, April 6th in the All That Scraps store. Until then, you will want to be sure and check out the ATS blog each day for plenty of chances to win!
Later gators! :)

Once again, your colouring is amazing, Amy! You really succeeded in letting the light filter through that leaf and reflect onto the hair. Well done on the blues, too! ;-)

Amy this is ADORABLE! The first thing I noticed before I even read your blog was the fact that it looks like the sun is casting a shadow over her leaf and making it look like she is sitting under a green tent. lol... Truly, I think you did an awesome job on her and I so get what you were going for and oh my, I think you NAILED this! I even had Jerry come over and look as I think this is just so cool looking. lol... Yes, my poor hubby gets drug into blog land.lol.. He is a good guy however and he comes over when ask. The good news for him is that he always gives me the correct response. lol... Seriously, he thinks your card looks fanstatic too. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Lisa & Jerry :O)

Amy,
Have you ever thought of stamping some of your adorable fairies onto a pair of TOMS shoes? I think customized Sweet November shoes would be fabulous! Instead of Copics you could color them with fabric paint!
As always, today's card is fantastic!
So beautiful, Amy! I love the shades of blue and your choice of colours for her hair is so clever:-)! Hugs Delphine xx
Love how she just pops out against the dark blue background (which is gorgeous!). Love the coloring!
