This is for Robin's fun F4A challenge. What a better way to spend a summers day than laughing with a gal pal, sand between your toes and a few little drinkies.
This card started out life as a 5"x 7" and the entire scene was coloured on copy paper but the sky and the water looked really dodgy.
When ever I colour outside the lines, I just draw a new line - I basically applied the same principle here, I just lopped off the bits I didn't like and created a new size.
To make the fussy cutting a bit easier I just fussy cut everything above the sand line. I then hunted through my stash of backgrounds until I found the right match.
To make the clouds I put a bit of water on a cloth and rubbed a patch of blue until the white core of the background cardstock showed through. I did this before I adhered the girls to the background in case it didn't work.
The chairs are coloured with pencils and a Copic. All the pink colouring is just one pencil, Zest it pencil blend and differing amounts of pressure on the pencil.
As always I gently wiped a "pre stained" walnut stain distress ink foam blending tool over the entire image. It really does make a difference.
When I was getting ready to photograph this, I noticed a dirty mark on Rightie's leg....yep, I added to the mess and gave her a few scars, she looks the adventurous type.
Thanks very much for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in.
