New Release Double Showcase

Welcome to our second New Release Double Showcase of March!  Spring has finally arrived in my neck of the woods (and I hope you're enjoying a nice warm weather where you are, too), and I've been itching to bring you this showcase today of two very different digis that have lots of flowers.

First up is "Lady Blossom".  This is a fantasy illustration of a beautiful elf surrounded by profusion of blooms.  Just imagine the many color palettes and styles you can experiment with on this fun image with lots of details!

The "Lady Blossom" is a full-page digi, coming in at 2400 x 3000 pixels (8 x 10 inches or 20.3 x 25.4 cm approx. at 300 dpi).  Print at full size for your color-and-frame project or size down to use on various arts and crafts projects.  The strong vertical design lends itself well for use of rectangles and ovals, or you can crop the image in circle or square for a different look.  This digi is offered in JPG file format at AW Digi Shop and AW Etsy.  

Next, we have a new cutie for you, AW Sprites fans!  Please welcome the newest member of the Seasons Sprites, Spring!  She's all dressed up for a big Easter celebration with you.  She's wearing fuzzy bunny ears, a hat, and pigtails decorated with daisies.  She is bringing a matching bouquet just for you!  

For the second half of today's showcase, I asked for additional help from members of the Aurora and Stella DTs from the AW Challenge Blog.   I fell a little (more like 1 whole week) behind the schedule when I was preparing this digi, and could only give three days' notice to everyone...  Sorry!

Isn't she perfect for Easter?  And she'll be so much fun to color in so many different palettes, don't you think?  "Spring Sprite" is now available in JPG at AW Digi Shop and AW Etsy and in PNG file format (transparent background for layering) at AW Digi Shop and AW Etsy.  She comes in at 1500 x 2100 pixels (5 x 7 inches or 12.7 x 17.8 cm approx at 300 dpi).

Wouldn't she be the cutest image to use in our latest Sketch Challenge at Aurora Wings Challenge Blog?  Our current challenge goes on through Saturday, April 1st.  There's still lots of time.  We hope you join us!

And if you feature the color GREEN in some way on that sketch challenge project, you can even join our Green contest at Aurora Wings FB Group!  This one runs through the end of the month.

And of course, the end of the showcase post means it's time for the discount code ad!  Happy shopping!  I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend!  Oh, please note that this code is good through the end of Monday, March 27 (11:59 pm EDT US), which is Tuesday, March 28 at 3:59 am GMT.

Two New Releases

Welcome to Day 2 of our big celebration weekend event!!   We kick off the second day of our festivities with a new release showcase of TWO digis.  How exciting!

The ladies of the Showcase DT have worked extra hard to make this possible today, so please give them lots of love for ther time and creativity by visiting their blog posts if you like their work you see here.  Everyone appreciate words of encouragement and an occasional pat on the shoulder, so let's spread the love!

First up, this new image started out as a small scribble on a scrap paper measuring less than 5" x 7", but ended up so detail packed, it's vertically longer than most of my digis.  Please check out the beautiful inspirations made with "Mermaid and Her Baby" digi!

Now, the second release of the day!  Happy news for my Sprites fans.  It's a Christmas Sprite!  Meet "Christmas Lights Sprite"!   While most of the Showcase DT was busy with the first big digi (plus another showcase coming up next Friday!!),  Silvia, Jan, & Debra from Showcase DT, and Donna & Glo from Challenge DT were able to help me out on a super short notice for this new release (I almost thought I'd be releasing this one without inspirations...  ^^;  )  Thank you, ladies, for your help!

Aurora Wings has a second volume of Sprites coloring book coming soon!  Mitzi is still taking pre-orders of the "Christmas Sprites" Mini Coloring Book (half the size of the fantasy coloring books) at the Storenvy shop.  All pre-ordered books will come with extra goodies tucked in that are exclusive pre-order gifts.

If you like the new release baby  today, you will find 6 more BRAND NEW, coloring book EXCLUSIVE Sprites in this coloring book.  These six babies are not going to be available as digis, so don't miss this chance to add these precious holiday Sprites to your collection.  All line art in this book (including 6 other images that were previously released in digi format) have been re-rendered for clearner, crispier printing for this publication.  I know many of you like to scan the pages of my coloring books so you'll be able to color an image more than once.  The images in this book will make excellent scans.  Pre-order at this link today!

And finally, here's a sneak preview of the FREEBIE digi that's going to be released at the end of our weekend festivities at 6 pm ET on Saturday, Nov. 7!!

Check out this adorable sample by Silvia, using the Garland Sprite.  There's a lot of color combo possibilities on this baby.  Here, she chose a blue-gold-white palette, which looks fantastic on this Sprite.

And here's another sample by Jan, using the traditional red with gold for a different look.

Thank you for doing triple duty on this showcase, Ilvia and Jan!!

This baby will be available for download for 24 hours at the AW Facebook group  starting at the close of the celebration (6 pm Eastern US/11 pm GMT on Sat. Nov. 7).  This is my GIFT to the guests who come to the weekend celebration, and as such, I will not be accepting any special requests sent via email, FB private messaging, or Etsy convo, asking to have this digi sent to you either before the release time or afterwards.  This policy is non-negotialble.  And just like all AW digis, the same Terms of Use applies to freebie digis by AW.  This is a members-only gift.  Please, no sharing!  She will be available to the public for purchase once the download period at the Facebook group expires.

And finally, I'd like to mention again in case anyone has missed it on the group wall, here are two saving codes for you, the party guests for this weekend.  You can get 25% off on a single new release purchase with 2500THANKYOU, or buy a total of $10 or more and use 2500AWGUEST and receive 35% off.  A great opportunity to add to your growing stash of AW digis or start your collection!
