They are much to be pitied who have not been given a taste of nature early in life.

Hey there,
I absolutely love the stunning detail in Norma Burnell images. When I color them I feel the need to slow down and enjoy every beautiful element of her design. They never fail to mesmerize me and take me to a tranquil world of my own. This Autumn's Wish fairy image has no grey scale shadows, which I'm finding I prefer. It's more relaxing for me to have the freedom of creating my own shadows as I color. It's a little trickier and more random, but this is a fairy, and with all that twinkling going on around her, who can say where her light source is.
I chose bright, vivid colors for my woodland fairy because I love all the magical rich tones of autumn. I mounted my focal panel on a z-fold card and found the perfect sentiment in my stamp stash for the inside.
I like the way this card stands up for display and exposes the inside panel. I embellished it with a lacy butterfly for a little added dimension. The images are mounted on copper matte metallic card stock to compliment the fall hues.
Thanks for visiting,
Go forth and enjoy the exquisite artistry of an autumn landscape.
Nancy
