Myrell in Purple

Myrell in Purple This beautiful image is from illustrator, Sybile Art. She's called Myrell and I think she's adorable! I decided to stick with purple tones and used a combination of Copics and Arrtx markers. I added some texture paste to the edges of the square die cut. I'm regretting adding the bow now and should have kept it simple. Anyway, hope you like it!
