After a week of rain and chill I can embrace Spring back finally! We are happy to go out and join the nature, like these sweet characters by MFT.
Per i maialini ho un debole, questo già lo sapete...I have a soft spot for pigs, you know...

How often do you feel the need to trash away a project you just started 2 minutes before? Instead, you go on anyway, and you realise you start liking it more and more... ending up loving it! That's what happened with this card!
I liked the stamp the moment I saw it on The Happy Place shop. I printed it with light blue ink and started a no line coloring, but then I got lost between the siren's tail folds, the hair, the face lines... only when I started coloring the seahorse head I couldn't stop.
Ho ripreso i particolari con le matite colorate Prismacolors, un pennarellino nero a punta fine e la penna gel bianca. Ho aggiunto alcune timbrate in seconda battuta sullo sfondo e qualche splatter di colore blu per richiamare il mare.I retraced details with Prismacolors pencils, a black fine liner and a white gel pen. Then I added some light prints and blue splatters on the background.
Come tocco finale ho passato la coda e le pinne della sirena con il pennarello Specrum Noir glitterato trasparente e ho colorato con un pennarello ad alcool nero delle mezze perle da incollare tra i capelli della sirena e sulle briglie del cavalluccio. Un paio di finti francobolli e una fila di stelline metalliche conferiscono il tocco 3D al tutto.As a final touch, I colored the siren's tail and fins with sparkle transparent Specrum Noir and some half pearls with a black alcool pen and put them on the head of siren and seahorse both. A couple of fake stamps and some metallic stars in my stash add the 3D effect.
It would be great if we could leave all together in peace and harmony like Bo, the little dragon, and Dante, the baby unicorn. Especially in these sad days.
I watercolored the background of the card using Zig Clean Colors markers. If you like to learn how to do it, you can join the online Fb class on Saturday 19th of March (you can find all info on Impronte d'Autore web site).
Dovremmo imparare di più dalle api, che colgono la bellezza del mondo invece che distruggerla.
We should learn from the bees and picking up the beauty of the world, instead of destroying it.
