Hi ladies.
It´s time for me, Helen, to try to inspire you today.
I have used Fairy from Mo manning, and you can get her as a clear stamp here.

I´ve stamped the image with Memento Ink on Perfect Coloring Paper, which I love. It´s thick, 250g/m2 and are able to carry much ink
Sometimes I get carried away while coloring so now I realize I didn´t got the skin on photo.
But right now I´ve used E000-E50-E21-E11-R02-E04.

The first shade of green is G12.

Time for the background.
And I found such lovely sunset that I wanted for this scene.
I start with pale colors to make the blending a little smoother.
I put C3 in the bottom, blending over to Y21 in the middle and blending over to V91.

I know I will put down many layers of colors so I´m not stressed out by making the coloring even.
And if you take a look at the sky you can see it´s not even in real life either.
So instead of thinking: I can´t get my coloring smooth, look around you and you´ll discover that nature are forgiving. Embrace that and give it a try .
I used V95 because I feel like I can blend the duller color easier.
So it´s just there for the transition from orange to purple.
I wanted a brighter purple so I started to blend in V01 with V95 and Y21.
And at the top I blended V06 and V01.

I don´t use my darkest color first, instead I´m working my way through the shades
so I can stop when it´s darken enough for me.
So from the horizon I use YR14 and blend it over to Y21. Leaving some space for the sun.

Blending the yellow, Y21, into the water with C3 for a smoother transition.
Darken the water with C5 and made some ripple on the water with C6.
I didn´t like the result of that part.
Sketch in some land and islands with C7.
I wanted her wings to be transparent, so I went in with the colors I used for the hair
and then I bleached it with my colorless blender, 00.

And I wanted to highlight her wand, so I made some circles round it with the colorless blender as well.
For her skin I went in with BV20 to give it some shades.
Some sparkle from her wand made with a Gelly Roller, Dark White.

And here it is, finished.
I found a perfect sentence from My Favorite Things for my image/card.
Hope you loved it.
And we all want to see your skies and sunsets coloring at our Facebook community.
Have a nice day!
Love
Helen
