I purchased a Jane Davenport colouring book. The pages are perforated so they tear out easily. The idea behind the book is to get adventurous with different mediums. Images are printed on various weights and types of paper.
I usually fail miserably at the colour challenge (I get carried away and add too many extra colours). Can't possibly go wrong with red, white and blue!
I used Blueberry and Red Cherry Gelato's, blending them with a baby wipe and added white dots using a paint pen.
The background was really messy, so I did a quick snip around the girls and pasted them onto crisp white cardstock. This is going into my journal with a big reminder to use gelato's more often.
Thanks very much for looking.

Um. no such thing as a quick snip in my world. That is a painstaking thing to do. Whatever you did it worked. Loved the bold colors on these as well as the wonderful blend of mixed media. I've never used gelatos but please, please, do a video! Love their eyes! You make your images come alive!

When I think of the Hamptons, I think of Sex and the City. Especially Samantha. And yes, these girls would fit right in. Wonderful image, Jane Davenport has wonderful ideas. I'm amazed that you could use baby wipes and not have more of a mess on the girls too. Super card!
