Big Straw Hat
Added to Favorite
xxxx

Photo Details
Poster: susanbri

 The Ways to Use It challenge is called Sweet Child of Mine - make a card for a child or with a child on it.

I used this lovely old fashioned image of a girl in a huge straw hat from La Blanche. I stamped it in black on the La Blanche specialty paper - it's fabulous to colour on with inks. I used various Distress inks and the Ranger colouring nibs to colour the image and then masked the image, sponged the sky with blue Distress inks, and then to add to the old-fashioned look, I splattered it with a wet paint brush and blotted with paper towel.

Fabulous coloring - thanks for explaining how you did it. And that very wide-brimmed hat is adorable!

We as people are raindrops of colorful ink , falling down Crisp and Clear, each a different shade more vibrant then the last, but once we realize at the bottom of an endless abyss we all fall into the same inkpot forming one color, only then can we come together as one My son.
