Tammy's been back at the drawing board and this new image, Seven Daughters is free in the ADFD Shop right now. Isn't it a beauty?!? AND it's free!
Two of my granddaughters are over for the weekend, so we have all been working on various projects in the craft room. This morning, Anika was happily mixing paint colors from a minimal number of craft paints I have around the house and painting her own version of Seven Daughters. Here's her painting! Mine took all day to finish, but she knew exactly what she wanted. I love the variation she came up with for hair and skin.
If you popped over from the ADFD blog, I promised to post the color combinations I used for the hair and skin of these beauties. I'm always on the look out for ideas and this card has some combinations I haven't used before and I hope you find the information helpful. They look better on the card than they show up in the photo. I especially liked the dark browns with the blue undertones and the dark browns of girl 3.
