I love the retro look of old diners and their mis-matched bright colors, so when this week's ways 2 use it was to use a digi, I knew I had the perfect digi to compliment this week's color challenge. And then today was the well deserved crowning of this week's Queen Barbara (aka barbaradwyer82), so I already had this card of hers favorited and felt it the perfect card/sketch to case:
I thought this sketch fit the little diner scene perfectly (a digi from TLC Creations). I colored the image with COPIC markers. While the cup in the upload looks almost an orange red, it is closer to coral. I did not have Calypso Coral but I did have Cameo Coral so I went with that. As far as the other colors, I just tried to come as close as possible. I added a newspaper DP behind the image panel to compliment the newpaper on the table. It is hard to see, but it has a hint of lavender/purple in the print.
I am sending this to a friend of mine who loves her coffee as much as I do. The inside verse says:
" You know you are addicted to coffee, when instant still takes too long to make "
Hope this puts a smile on her face, as well as yours. TFL, and I hope you like it And a special thanks to Barbara for the wonderful inspiration. Your gallery is truly wonderful.
