Aurora Wings Stella Team Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to the Aurora Wings  'Stella Team' Blog Hop.

Hopefully you have joined me from the main site Aurora Wings Blog Hop, if not you can use this link to pop back and check it out.


This hop is designed for you to get to know the new Aurora Wings 'Stella Team' and also for us to 'Show our Style'.

Some of you may already know me from the Aurora Wings Showcase Team, which I have been lucky enough to design for since it began in 2014 and hopefully you have enjoyed seeing my work.  I have been making cards for over 15 years now, but my love of colouring began in 2013.  I have also been a member of the Kit & Clowder coloring community since it began 2 years ago and have seen a huge improvement in my colouring skills.

I am not entirely sure what 'My Style' is, but I am fairly sure I do have one! It is definitely not CAS or Shabby Chic, but maybe somewhere in-between?

Having looked back over my work, I think I take a fairly simple approach to layout and try to make the image the main focus as the colouring is what I enjoy the most, I then enhance with a few embellishments or papers that fit the theme.  Which is exactly what I have done with my project today.


I have used the sweet 'Poppy Sprite' and coloured her with Copics and Graph-It markers.

I then searched for something Poppy related, which bought me too this lovely Poppy outline from the Silhouette store, which is cut from Black Vinyl and layered onto plain Red card stock.



To finish I have layered with Spellbinders dies and added some Tattered Lace butterflies, to which I have added some tiny sparkles too - that's another thing I love - SPARKLE.


Thanks for visiting, I look forward to seeing you at our 1st challenge on 7th March, but in the meantime, don't forget the current challenge by the 'Aurora Team' - Sprite Delight', there is still plenty of time to enter.

    Great to have you on the Stella Team, Julie! ^_^ Your projects always have the gorgeous coloring that's clean and bold - your color palette is always striking and harmonious, and your clean layout always compliments your gorgeous coloring. Yours is definitely a recognizable style that I LOVE!!
