# 159 "Winged things" over at lost Coast Designs/ Carmens Veranda

 Hello, yes there is a new challenge at,

"Winged things"

I really like challenges,

You have a chance to win new stamps, and who wouldn't want that. 

You can even participate with stamps from other brands, 

but you prefer our stamps.

Please read the rules to avoid disappointment.

Today my contribution to the challenge.

I drew a mixed media portrait.

 And with my red-haired granddaughter in mind, this came out.

I worked with Van Gogh watercolor paint and Derwent inktense pencils.

Everything has been done with the watercolor except her hair.

I colored it with the inktense pencils.

I stamped the background with 

LCD Brushstrokes, Pieces of calligraphy and Pieces of architecture.

And the butterflies are from LCD Butterfly set.

The beautiful text "Art gives my soul wings to fly" is from Carmens Veranda.

These are the inks I used for stamping.

Versafine onyx black for the butterfly.

Archivel ink coffee.

Distressink Rusty hinge, Twisted citron and Evergreen bough.

I hope you will join the challenge, it is for everyone and it doesn't matter if you are beginner or advanced.

That's it for now, I wish you a nice day.
