Feather Blended Sunflower Easel Card for Mad for Markers

Hi all, first just gotta tell you, I got picked in the top 5 for Creatalicous Challenge #9, can't tell you how chuffed I am! There were over 240 entries! Still floating on cloud nine. Another tick on my achievement list, now back to why I am really here lol!
Today is the second day of our 'Feather Blending Challenge over at Mad for Markers, I finally got Penny coloured up (she is available from my DT sister Tracey), isn't she just gorgeous! She really lends herself to lots of blending. She is of course coloured using copics which are available from Sammi, who also has a tutorial on feather blending here. Just to show you how versatile these copics are I coloured the pearl embellishment on the small flower. Used my MS butterfly punch for the butterfly with pearl embellishments and kindyglitz. Originally I cut blue to the sunflower shape and didn't like it I felt this looks like a blue sky background.
A close up of Penny, used special effects for her beautiful eyes.

Clothes - B00, B02, YR00, YR02
Skin - E000, E00, R20
Hair - E50, E51, E53, E35, Y26, YR00
