Aurora Wings

Come on Spring! Here's an Easter Challenge in pastels. It's time for a new challenge over at Aurora Wings Blog, and this time the them is Easter Pastels. You can enter up to three (3) times if you use one of her images, or once (1) if you use another stamp/image. I love Mitzi's designs, so I have tons to choose from.

When I first saw Mitzi's Siren digi I knew I had to have her. I coloured her immediately, then stuck her in my ok, so now what do I do with this? pile (I have a BIG pile too). The challenge on the Aurora Wings website, Challenge #55 The Elements, was a perfect opportunity to use her, plus it doesn't hurt that I can also use it in their Facebook challenge as well. The FB challenge has a sketch to follow, which is awesome, as my brain doesn't have to come up with a design.

Mitzi has honoured, and surprised me by asking me to be a Guest Designer for her September Challenge, Crop It! I can't even begin to tell you how excited, scared, thrilled and amazed I am. Where to begin? Mitzi has so many amazing designs to chose from, and at this point in time, a lot of my art has been Steampunk themed. I have several of her Steampunk images, so I knew I'd be picking one of those.

This is my second entry to the challenge on the Aurora Wings website, Challenge #55 The Elements. When I first saw Viridis Incendia, I thought she was a mermaid who captured a butterfly and brought it underwater to eat. In Mitzi's Etsy shop, she is described as a spirit of the carnivorous plant, hehe oops! Oh well, I'm calling this the Air Element, for the butterflies... yeah, that's it. I will also use her in the Facebook challenge as well, which is why I used the FB challenge sketch for this design.

I am so not a blogger. I like to create for challenges, but I usually forget to blog about my design. Thankfully, the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog forces one to blog before entering one's creation. So here goes:

Well, talk about squeaking in at the last minute. This month's challenge over at Aurora Wings Challenge Blog ends tonight at 11:55 PM EST. SQUEAK! Just made it!

This month on the Aurora Wings Facebook group, their challenge is "Anything Goes". I love these challenges as I simply choose an Aurora Wings image and apply it to whatever card I'm currently making. Yes, I'm lazy, lol.
