Here its is! I don't know if the picture will show up. Anyways I color this with the program paint on my computer. Its ok i guess. But it was fun

[Alexa Diamondflower]

Here is mine! I know it's not good. I used Pixlr and I am kinda new to the whole photo shop/photo editing stuff. But I hope you like this.


P.s. I messed up in a few spots. Sorry about that. I should've used colored pencils.


EDIT: Sorry I made Peri's skin too yellow. When I was coloring it online it didn't look that way.

*Sigh*, at least I had finished my coloring, and I pretty like how it turned out. I'm too lazy to color the flower through, so I keep them in white color. Well, not the best drawing that I had ever made, but oh well, that's the only thing that I could do.



I had realized if Forums had broke my picture quality, when I'm trying to upload it as an attachment, so I post it as a normal image.

Here is our entry. Julianna and I had a blast coloring together with colored pencils. Doing it "old school" made for a cute Mommy-Daughter activity.


My scanner seemed to change the background to look a little bluish, but I think it actually enhanced it. LOL

First off, all of your artwork looks great, you guys! I love looking at each of them!
And now, here's my entry:

...I just got a little carried away.
The picture itself, with Peri and Tink in the front with their wings sparkling made me think of the end scene of the Secret of the Wings, and so that was my inspiration for the background. Sure, it's not frozen over like it was in the movie, but I did try to make it look like it was being set in the Pixie Dust Tree, with all of the meadows in the background.

This was a lot of fun for me to do--maybe I'll keep working on some of the other templates!

[Night Wish]

Popcorn, that's beautiful! I love what you did to the background. You're a really good Mainland artist!

Wow, gorgeous pictures everyone! I loved looking at all of your colored images, they're so fun and creative.

Weather wasn't cooperating today, sigh. So I took a break from sightseeing to finish my first coloring page! Everyone can use some rainbow color once in awhile, right?

[Twilight]

Everyone's pictures so far are just wonderful.

It was nice to get back to simpler times and just color.

Thanks for the beautiful colouring pages and the wonderful contest!
I loved looking at everyone's pictures, they're all so lovely and unique!
I decided to colour my picture using both the tradition and tech savvy way.
It was great to dust off my pencil crayons and try colouring with Pixlr.

Coloring online was not good at all...
Oh well.
At least I tried... it unfinished, I don't know if I have enough time to finish...

[Mia Lightningwillow]

I had to make the fairies look goth. It's me, don't judge.
This was fun. Thanks! I'll post my daughters later when she finishes.

[Sapphire Sweetfeather]

Phew! I finally got my image done.



My daughter also wanted me to share the ones she did.
