Anyways, this time it's all about blending greens and yellows. We don't care what images you use, as long as there is colouring on your project and you have followed the weeks theme.
Since the sponsor of our challenge is Crissy Armstrong with her fab digis I wanted to use one of her images ...unfortunately my puter kept crashing and I couldn't put the scene together so I was forced to use one of her rubber stamps for Whimsy Stamps, it's available HERE. The bench is from Make Crafty and you can find it HERE. Oh, and that cute border strip (which I managed to stick on wonky) is a real cool die from Whimsy as well.
I am listing most of my Copic colours below - just wanted to mention that if you are blending greens with yellows, thus creating an environment with sharp highlights, then BV25 makes a good shadow tone. Just my lil' tip of the day, lol
For papers I used OA scraps which worked for my colour scheme, distressed them heavily, then mixed Cadmium Yellow and White acrylic paint to buttery yellow and dry-brushed on edges (using a cheap sponge brush from my kids craft box...I am THAT caring of a mother...).
Oh, and that ornate shape behind the image is a laser cut chipboard from Make It Crafty (I'm obsessed with the stuff and bought several different sheets) coloured with the same acrylic mix.
