For Lisas teapot challenge- wide open range
For Sabrinas way to use it- star quality
For Shirleys free for all- Spring or Easter
Its been a while since making a card as my mojo has been lost within depths of snow weve endured in the Midwest this winter.
When Lisas teapot challenge mentioned southwestern flair for Sandy & Dave, a desert scene warmed my heart!!
I literally searched YouTube on how to draw a desert scene, and CASd the video.
I gesso,d White CS, sketched the scene with black Copic marker, then added oil pastels.
I didnt have good luck blending the colors with my finger or a baby wipe, and found that Q-tips worked like a charm for a more blended look. The scene reminded me of a cartoon.
To make it more realistic I added die cut stars in the dawn sky for Sabrinas, and dimensional blooming flower with a tiny pompon inside it for Shirleys Spring Theme.
Finished with stamping the encouraging sentiment.
Thanks ladies for the inspirations!

Wow! I love it! I love the way the "cartoony" look of the hand drawn desert scene (a brilliant idea) looks with the oil pastels and the die cut stars. The flower on the cactus is just the perfect finishing touch. Sandy is going to LOVE this!
