I have created my project using Pan Pastels for the background, adding stamps from the Fantasy Castle stamp set initially in the back of the picture, and then I added images from the Design a Tree collection to create a forest effect. I used coloured ink to add the little flowers to the trees, and a deeper shade of Pan Pastel, with a touch of grey pencil to ground the trees, so that they did not float in mid air. I stamped the clouds with grey ink for a softer finish, and added pale pink Pan Pastel and white charcoal to create fluffy appearance.
I stamped the fairy from the Spring Fairy collection onto a separate piece of card, and coloured the image with Polychromos pencils, before cutting it out and adhering it to the background. The castle in the background was also coloured with pencils.
Thanks for stopping by, xx

Your use of the limited colour palette is so effective & I particularly like the way the domes of the turrets echo her dress in reverse (being at the bottom of the dress as it were). The pink blossom is stunning & the pinkish clouds keep the warm feel to the whole design. Your attention to grounding is a lovely detail which never fails to add oomph!
Just beautiful, I love your colours and super colouring, Kate x
Amazing scenery so beautifully coloured!! Love so much the trees and the fairy, as well the gorgous palace!
