The Lil' Patch Challenge #8 is an anything goes challenge. I was lucky enough to be able to use an image from one of our three sponsors, A Day For Daisies. They're a dream to color. This on is called Aloha Parasol - she's just luscious! I decided she was going to be a more "mature" woman and gave her some wrinkles around her belly. Although now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure my mature gal would be wearing such a itty bitty bikini! I colored pearls with my Copics and added them to the parasol and as accents around the sentiment.
I used this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to design my card.Copics Used:
Skin: E000, 21, 11
Flowers:R11, 20, 22, 24
Parasol: Y00, 04, 08 R20
Bikini: BG000, 11, 32
Sand: E41 (based) and dots of other E colors, some R20 and BG 11
Prize: $12 gift certificate
Prize: 7 images
Prize: 3 images
