Hydrangea Sprite

I was lucky enough to with the 'Colouring With Pencils' challenge last month & was asked to be a guest designer...well how could I say no!! You know I love my pencils lol!!

I was sent this gorgeous image to colour. Hydrangeas always make me think of my Nan (who passed away when I was 16) she had a massive hydrangea outside her front window. The colours on it used to amaze me when I was smaller. So for this image I have printed it out at A5 size & cut a frame out on my Scan n Cut so I can put it on my wall.

The theme is....
