I am behind on my CCC goal so I thought I would try and combine CCC with today's Mix-ability challenge. I didn't realize what a challenge I had given myself! Apparently, although a prolific doodler while I am on the phone an artistic doodler, I am not in regards to art on a card! I am not impressed with this final doodle.
I tried three different water color images....and tossed two of them. I didn't like how the watercolor sky looked on this image so I cut the image...are you supposed to cut watercolor images? Well, as I have said before I AM stubborn so after setting this image aside for several hours, I came back to it and this is what I came up with!!
The images are colored with watercolor and memento markers. I used Distress markers for the stable and trees. I speckled brown CS with white acrylic paint. The roofs, angels and frame are doodled with white gel pen.

This sounds like some of the struggles I've had with the Mixability challenges. I'm glad you persevered! If you didn't like the sky, cutting it was perfectly allowable - I like your silhouette buildings in the pretty watercolor shades. I still haven't figured out how to do watercolor. Your doodling is fine; no one said there had to be a lot of it.

I really think it turned out great! Of course you can cut - you can do whatever you want! And I like your doodling!
These challenges don't require you to make something that isn't "you". Do your own thing, be who you are, and just use the challenge to push the boundaries a bit!

This is BEAUTIFUL! I love that you cut out the images - and I love the way you colored them. The sky turned so well, too!
