Hello crafters,
I was kindly ask to Guest Design at the Time Out Challenges #39 where the theme is Make your Mark. The challenge is still going on for about a week and I did another card for your inspiration.
I've purchased this adorable little girl called Miss you Lots by Wplus9. I just haven't had time to colour it until now. While I bought these I thought that they would make a perfect gift for my Goddaughters and this is my first one (of quite a many) and it'll be for my niece. Hopefully she likes it when she receives it. It would be super neat if Dawn would use her magical drawing skills and make a set of stamps like this but little boys in them... What would you think?
I took a close up since those frames were the only ones that I could find while taking a photo... AND they are HUGE!!. I used no-line colouring technique with Inktense Pencils. For the trees on the background I used a stamp from Coming up Roses and did a bit of watercolour stamping. I very much like how this turned out, in particular I like how the dress turned out. (Many many MANY layers of Inktense pencils...) Lol! And I had a blast colouring!
Supplies:
Stamps: Miss You Lots and Coming up Roses by Wplus9
Inks: Memento Desert Sand. Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks.

ReplyDeleteUnbelievable coloring. The dress, the boots, the water, the tree trunks. The sweet liite scene. Girl, you are a marvel and a master of coloring. Incidentally, I think you should contact Dawn of Wplus9 about the boy stamp. It's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteMarika, This card definitely shows your artistic ability. It is lovely and yes a little boy stamp would compliment this adorable little girl. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Harriet. Hopefully Dawn makes one of those. :)

ReplyDeleteI think you have a very good idea, Marika, about the boys! My favorite bit are her boots! You are so good at this ... I'm so drawn to trying these pencils ... what do you think? Inktense or Prisma for a beginner?
