Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye.
Dorothy Parker
Hey there from Nannyland,
I've been eager to color one of Mariola Budek's stunning digital images for awhile and this one caught my eye right away. Her gorgeous cascading locks were a delight to color in warm shades of brown. The foliage has beautiful simple lines, so I just went with the flow in cool floral hues.
My favorite Copics for coloring skin are E04, E21, E11, E00, and E000, with R20 for a little cheek color. The E04 looks very dark at first, but when it's used sparingly to create cast shadows, it creates beautiful depth and dimension.

To finish my card, I die cut my favorite Spellbinders frame in white and mounted it on a light blue 5 x 7 card base. I traced around the colored image using the inside of the die for my guide and fussy cut it, leaving some areas to overlap the frame. The flower and leaves are handmade from my Heartfelt Creations stash. I edged the sentiment tag and image panel with a gold leafing pen and added some Elizabeth Crafts peel off sticker gems to bring a little sparkle to the pink flowers in the image.
I absolutely love the simple beauty of Mariola Burdek's beautiful art. I can't wait to choose another gorgeous image from my digital library and lose myself in coloring!
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
