gorgeous fairy, you make it look so easy (mine always look so wrong)

Rae: I could see this design being a big hit with girls and teens, especially with a belly dancer or Arabian princess/genie costume.

Kelly: I love the black and white effect! Very dramatic and elegant.

Michelle: Your roses are great. This is one of my favorite ways to paint roses. It looks so graphic and punchy--almost like a tattoo.

Susan: Yowsah on the fairy! How fun! You guys are all so inspiring.

autumn mask



step1: sponge on gold-pink-purple (superstar) on the eyes
step2: using a chiselbrush make the acorns using a brown-orange-gold artycake
step3: using daubers add pink nd purple berries
step4: using a flat brush add autumn leaves and pumpkins using an autumn splitcake
step5: double load a round brush number 5 and add pink and purple Michaelmas daisies (I looked it up! )
step6: using a flat brush add green leaves
step7: using a round brush number 2 add dfx black detail and outlines
step8: using that same brush add the spiderweb and spider
step9: using that same brush and dotterwand add white highlights and dots

done!



and a bit other angle

Michelle, I already knew my vote when I saw your tribal roses mask but now I have a broken heart. You shouldn't post more than one design!!!! That's gonna be hard.. AGAIN!!!

aaawwww!..thanks ..but I have even more ideas... ..I just love splitcakes!

Really fabulous Michelle!

wowsers
The accumulated talent here never ceases to amaze intimidate and inspire.
Keep up the lovely work ladies I may just get around to doing something on this one - you never know.
Michelle - you must stop competing with yourself - you should know by now you always kick your own butt..... lmao

Ok, Michelle, one day you're saying you use splits all the time so it's a challenge to come up with new designs.....then bam, the very next day you post this. Man, you're so clever. Can't wait to see your other ideas. LOVE LOVE this one.

thank you..I really like this one!

Wonderful, you really have your roses down to a fine art!

Here's another entry

Im not entirely certain of my brush sizes( the numbers wore off a long time ago) but you need a onestroke brush and a liner.
Magpie cake ( white, grey, black) though you could use any colour combo really.

Do a one stroke rose.
Add two vines and spikey leaves around the rose.
Add thorns to the rose
Outline areas in white.



Here's hoping my slideshow works. if it doesnt ill add photos when i come online next.

Edit:doesnt seem to be working, oh well it was worth a go. click on the pic to see the slideshow. here is the end pic.
Edit adding steps

didn't make a step by step, it's a design I created for a little bit different butterfly as carnaval example for this store i work for as a freelancer...the bee was also forthat purpose..

so to try out my idea...



other lighting

I like it Michelle, a lot different than your usual stuff. Very pretty, did you use a new stencil or are those a tone of hash marks?

I didn't use any stencils....just a thin brush and white..sort of hashmarks..and dots on the intersections..
I like trying things in a different way..

I love those!!!
Did you use a big filbert brush fot the split cake?

Oh, Michelle, very different take on the butterfly. I REALLY like it!

yes I did!

I just realised the video says "One stroke" and not "Split cake". You all know what I mean





Hope you like it!

LOL. Got confused for a second there. My name is Michelle too.

ahh..one stroke, splitcake..all the same..

Michelle, beautiful name, right??

Wow! "Challenge" is right. I feel intimidated, inspired, awed, and nudged. There is some talent in here! I'm looking forward to getting into the game Gonna have to keep my eye on the prize and not the competition or else I might just freeze up!

Woohoo!!! I got one myself!
It looks great and fast so I'll gif it a try.

it is fast and beautiful..show us what you created!

Okay... this is challenging in so many ways. Stopping to take step-by-step pictures; editing all those pictures; setting up a hosting account; figuring all that out!

This is a TEST. Hopefully I'm not making a complete fool of myself.
