Feather Blended Sunflower Easel Card

Hi all, today is the second day of our 'Feather Blending Challenge here at Mad for Markers, I finally got Penny coloured up (she is available from my DT sister Tracey), isn't she just gorgeous! She really lends herself to lots of blending. She is of course coloured using copics which are available from Sammi, who also has a tutorial on feather blending here. Just to show you how versatile these copics are I coloured the pearl embellishment on the small flower.

A close up of Penny, used special effects for her beautiful eyes.

Monochrome with Tracey

Good morning good morning. It is my turn today. I made a card last week for the current challenge but didn't think I could make a better card but I outdid myself. LOL. I love how this card turned out - and look - no flowers. Hahaha.

For this card - again I used one of the beautiful Sweet Pea Stamps. This DP is just great for this type of challenge. I coloured the rhinestones with a marker so it matched the colours in the image. What do you think....???? Don't forget to get your entries in to the Monochrome challenge for your chance to win the prize.
