Needed Some Sunshine 🌞

Have you ever a week where things were just not going your way and you were so frustrated and tired that your head felt like it was going to explode?  That was this week for me. I'm usually that optimistic up beat person who just goes with the flow and yesterday was just enough where I went home and took a nap. After I woke up, I decided I needed some sunshine so I made some cards using a bright yellow background.  I wanted something simple, so I used a strip of color accented with a single flower. Here is what I came up with- I hope you like 🌞 The third card isn't finished yet, so I'm still working on figuring out the concept... Hope you have a fabulous week!

The Fairy

I This fairy was a complete challenge to me as well as a learning experience. I found her while perusing through pictures of fairies. I've had my eye on her for a while and have been trying to find the artist who originally drew her.  If she belongs to you,I would love to give credit. I did change her dress a bit to make her my own version. I started her out by drawing her on card stock paper. I then outlined and filled her body with the beehive technique.   I wasn't happy with how it looked, but continued to quill... I still wasn't happy with her body, so I cut the beehive out and redid her outline. I then glued it onto a new piece of card stock and then filled in her body with a light peach shade of color. I started to stop altogether on her, but had to finish!  What do you think? Would you have quit and started something else?
