Hi Everyone,
Hope this finds all having a good start to the week. And that all had a good weekend. Even though it looks like my entry (for last week) below did not manage to take any prizes I just wanted to Thank You for all the kind comments that you left. This one still holds a special place.
Now for this weeks Post.
I had started working on this image Sassy Hatter for a St. Patty card for my husband. I was not feeling well when I started looking for a image to use. The color image was done in green so my head went with St. Patty. It finly registered after seeing a comerical for the Disney Alice movie comming out that she was the mad hatter. I thought it was strange that she was doing tea. I know the title for the image is Sassy Hatter but like I said I was sick things weren't clicking too well at the time. And I couldn't help myself I had to put in a picture with my Belleek teapot that hubby got me when we went to Irland and went to the Belleek factory. Ok, I know you all are busy so I will get on with my Entry.

Oh wow! This is just gorgeous. Your coloring on this image is just amazing... I love all the tones of green in the hat and shoes. And I love your ribbon treatment! Thank you for participating in the Wild Flower Wednesday challenge! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Your coloring rocks and your ribbon is awesome! I love this card and know that your husband will too!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing and your coloring is outstanding! Love how you used the ribbon and using her as a St. Patty's Day iamge is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHi and thank you for the very nice comment on my blog. I use Tim Holtz distress inks when I colour my images (I use both stamp pads and refillers) because I think it's easier to get shades and nuances than with pencils - I've tried and didn't like the outcome ;)
ReplyDeleteThere is a nice tutorial on how to do on:

I don't use that kind of brush though, just a regular brush and make sure I have lots of water in a bowl very close by ;)
And for details like clothes and such you can dip your brush in water that you have put a tiny amount of perfect pearls in. That will give the details a lovely sparkly look in the colour you choose.
Hope this was helpful.
Holy Cow BJ!!! This is absolutely FABULOUS!!!
