Our cards are going to 12 year old Arman from Avalon Elementary school in Orlando. We are sending him paper hugs, our way to keep paying the kindness forward.
Food, sport and Harry Potter are our themes of choice this week. I have never read a Harry Potter book or seen any of the movies, I think it's time I rectified that.
I bought this fun digi image from Polkadoodles - oh my goodness what a fabulous collection of images. I printed several different sizes of the image as I wasn't sure what I was going to make. I plan on putting little Harry on a bookmark for Arman.
Both images are printed on copy paper and coloured with Prismacolour Pencils, Zest it pencil blend and highlighted with a couple of Copics.
To maximise the shine in his hair I was very firm with the Zest-it and the colourless blending pencil. The greater pressure results in more shine. Adding a Copic marker over the top makes it super shiny.
I gently rubbed the walnut stain foam blending tool over the finished image to take away that "just coloured" look, then finished off with a few more flicks of Copic E39 in his hair.
The moon was made using the negative of a circle die cut and a good old silver Versa Colour cube ink (still as inky as the day I bought it 15 years ago). Stars were added with Stickles.
Next step was to adhere Harry to the moonlight background - it needed something, so I trimmed the black panel down a bit and mounted it on a panel I had in my mixed media stash. Job done.
I hope you get a chance to join in and get inky. Thanks so much for looking.
