As you might or might not know, I am a wee bit intimidated by manga. I'm never quite exactly sure how to colour it - which is a darn good reason to keep practicing. :) I have loved
Make It Crafty summer/beach line of stamps from day one - about time I got around playing with them! Today I have happily mucked up the
Hula Girl.
I decided to be awkward again and mat kraft card on designer paper (
Basic Grey Hello Luscious) instead of other way around, like normal people. Sponged and distressed everything on sight with linen-hued acrylic paint. I love regular acrylic instead of crackle paint because IT DRIES FAST. 'Nuf said.
The colouring is done with Faber-Castell Art Grip pencils. Yes, I am going through all the possible pencils I can get my hands onto. Those particular ones are pretty good. Not as soft and vibrant as Prismas but easier to achieve precision and detail in colouring.
For the sentiment I have used brand new
Whimsy Good Life Ticket sentiment set - it fitted like a glove! The flowers are old Primas - I was real happy to finally use them! And under the flowers - yes, you guessed - uber cool
laser cut chipboard I am happily obsessed with! lol
Now, that's it from me today - big hugs and happy crafting!

This looks fabulous, Annika! I know what you mean about the soft leads of the Prismas. I haven't tried the Faber Castell pencils yet but I may have to after seeing this. I also like the reversal of the kraft and designer papers.... interesting effect. Just a great job all the way around!
