Green eyes

Good day

Sometime there is a challenge that just draw your attention and this time it was Mitzi at Aurora Wings that draw my attention with her Black & white with the option of dash of colour. There are some amazing projects from the DT and I just could not resist. Mitzi also have a very special talent to add emotion to her digi's eyes. I used her Sisterhood image. I colour the image with my prisma pencils and played with some pearl accent paper and with just a touch of lime green ribbon and some rhinestone on the metal part. I used a Marianne design Creatable LR0483 die.
I have to confess that these days there are people that have some very unusual pets and in South Africa there is a place in Nieu Betestha that is called the owl house and there used to stay a lady that had an obsession with owls and some how this image have a sense of royalty, where they have eagles as pets.

I took inspiration from the following challenges:
Aurora Wings #66 - Black and white with choice of colour or not
Allsorts #465 - All about pets ( she looks as if she is an owl lady)
The Outlawz Tuesday Colour challenge 24 April - Emboss, ribbon & die cut
Tic Tac Toe #45 - Metallic, free, stripe
The Outlawz Wednesday Challenge 25 April - sketch

Thank you and hope you have a great day!
