Friday Sketchers and Colour Create

Hi

There's a lovely sketch over at Friday Sketchers which was really sweet.  I combined it with the challenge on Colour Create Challenge blog which set the challenge of using hot pink, dusky pink and ice chocolate (!) with the optional extras of pearls and swirls.  I managed the pearls but didn't have anything swirly to use. 

I thought the colour options mixed with the sketch turned out pretty well



The colour combination was lovely and I used K&Co Classic Bailley, swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder and my wee sugar nellie Manga Girl was coloured using copics

I also thought I would post a card I did a few weeks ago which used a free download image from the fabulously talented Nina May on There's Magic in the Air.  I loved this artwork and tried my hand at watercolouring - I added in the sky and the sea and thought it came out not too bad for a first attempt at anything like this.




Can't believe it's Wednesday already - apparently it's only 12 weeks to Christmas - aarghh

  1. Laurane, both cards are super nice, the top one is so cute and I love that stamp image!! and the colors are fun. Your boat card, is just stunningly beautiful and what a nice job you did with your watercolors. I paint watercolors and it is my choice of fine art paints and your water and sky are just beautiful. You really did a nice job on this. Whoever receives it should feel extra especial! Thanks for linking it back for me to see! I really do love seeing everyone's work with my images! Thanks again and hope to see more! :O)
