Hello Friends,
I was trying to come up something for this week's colour challenge at The Outlawz and I decided to try to paint a pansy like in the inspiration photo.
I started with water colour pencils, but it wasn't going so well. One of the pencils simply would not liquify. I added in some water colour crayons and Gelatos. I even got in there with my Prisma colour pencils. All the while, I kept picturing a little fairy within the petals and I finally decided to just go for it. I used a Sharpie pen for her face and hair. Then I added accents to her hair and dress with white and gold gel pens. I even finger-dabbed on some white acrylic paint in a few spots.
The result? A little weird, but I'm rather a fan of weird so that is okay with me.
This week's colour challenge is to use magenta and two other colours from the photo. I went with green and purple.
I made this little flower ages ago out of a tiny scrap of paper I absolutely adored. It goes so well with this colour combo I just had to include it in the design, along with some die cut leaves.
This sentiment stamp is from a SU Fairy stamp set. I thought it went perfectly with my little pansy turned fairy painting.
This week's challenge, besides the colour palette, is to choose our own twist. Mine is mixed media magic.
Thanks for dropping in. I hope you like my silly little fairy and my card design.
Hugs & Smiles, \o/ :-)

Oh Teresa, I just love your fairy pansy. It is gorgeous. We have just planted about 60 pansy plants in our garden. They do very well in the winter months and I will be looking for some fairies out there LOL. Hugs and have a Blessed Easter. Ursula
Oh well done, your pansy turned out really well. Love the colours, too. Hugs, Valerie
Beautiful Teresa the flower is a work of art.

Oh my goodness - WOW! Stunning! Happy Easter.
Beautiful color combo, Teresa! Love the face in the pansy face. :-D Hope this posts. Being punted off line every 5 minutes has resulted in many of my comments being lost. Hugz
