Hello! It’s time for a brand-spankin’ new challenge with Aurora Wings. The theme this time around is “Anything Goes,” so there’s no excuse to not play along! I decided to work with the delightful Lilac Sprite.
I wanted to do something different when I colored the Lilac Sprite. So I opted to give her black hair and a black dress. I think she looks striking. I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens for this. Here’s a close up.
I loosely fussy cut her out then created my background. I have a nice big lilac bloom stamp from Stampendous, which I stamped on to lavender colored cardstock using Grape Jelly Memento Ink. I wanted to add a little something to the large blooms, so I took out my Fine Tec watercolors and added some shimmery purple watercolor to a few of the blooms. The shine it gave the background was fabulous, but not quite enough, so I also used a green sparkle marker from Spectrum Noir around the edge and for a few of the stems of the lilacs.
You can see the shine in the photo above. I also added a few sequin from the Lilac Lustre Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground. I adhered them with On Point Glue from Imagine. My sentiment is from Altenew’s Crafty Friends stamp set. I attached everything to a black card base, to work back to the black I used on the Sprite.
I really hope that you will join us for the “Anything Goes” challenge. I know that many of you will create something spectacular! Please be sure to visit the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog to see more from the amazing Design Team. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

I really love the dramatic black on Lilac Sprite, Alison! Really pops the flowers and your stunning stamped background gives a fabulous mid-summer's night dreamlike quality with some sparkle from the moon and stars. I can just smell the heady lilacs. Yummy! xxD

Such an unexpected delight to see the Lilac Sprite in black, Alison! Love the satiny shine you gave to the black parts of the image. And the backdrop perfectly complements the Sprite. Thank you so much for this beautiful inspiration for our latest challenge at Aurora Wings today! Mitzi xxx
