Hello all. Hope you are well this Friday and looking forward to the weekend.
I have a cute squirrel to share with you today. He and his bunch of balloons is available here and his creator is the sponsor of the new challenge at
You know by now that it's always Anything Goes and your image must be hand coloured...easy!!
The original plan was to just showcase the image and balance it with the fabulous "Birthday" but it just didn't look right, boy oh boy did I panic..."what if I can't find the exact colours among my obscene amount of paper pads?" As if!! All is well though as I found just the thing in an old Echo Park A Boy's Life pad and it looked so much better.
I have looked in awe at you clever colourists who manage to make balloons look see through so was determined to have a jolly good go. Imagine my delight when I realised that I had achieved a reasonable attempt, I really should have more confidence at my age!!
Thank you for calling, it's still a delight to see comments, they are much appreciated.
See you soon xx

Hi Sarah, that's a very sweet image beautifully coloured! I've started up lessons at Kit and Clowder again to improve my colouring. Don't know if you heard of Alyce and her classes - they are very good and are for both markers (all brands) and pencils. Oh and you and I just used the same paper pad, but for very different cards!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good weekend.
Sarah

The balloons are sensational and I love how you were able to brilliantly match the colors with the pp you found! Not only that, but the design is adorable! Hugs, Darnell
