Desert Rose


Today there is an exciting new release at the Aurora Wings showcase Blog.

This little beauty is called "Desert Rose" the belly dancer.


1800 x 2100 pixels at 300 dpi (6" x 7"/15.2 x 17.8 cm)

I was excited when I saw Mitzi's new image and also a little scared as there are so many pleats but I also had a million ideas.

The main thing I wanted to do was make a background incorporating a kind of Moroccan look doorway, I googled clip art and found this image from dreams time.


I decided I could make my own using an upside down heart and a rectangle, then merging with a moroccan lattice I have from the Silhouette store. It took a while to get it right but I ended up with just what I was after.



While I was searching a found a lovely free desert background that I have decided to use behind the lattice.

So here is my finished card

The image was coloured with Copics and Promarkers, my colour choice is based on a few articles I saw on Moroccan themed parties, which incorporated bright orange, pink and purple and some gold.

I am really pleased with the end result and am looking forward to colouring her again.

Please go a check out the lovely creations by my team-mates at the Aurora Wings Showcase Blog.
