I am so sorry for the delay in posting. I worked an extra 5 days and then found myself without wifi or any internet connection for a few days. My connection is back up and running.... YAAA!
Oh my... Color Me Creative has grown! Not only are we getting more and more wonderful new members... We have increased the number of our design team members! Our Junior Design Team joined our Senior Design Team and now we have some wonderful new Junior Design Team members. Look on the sidebar and your will have a link to their wonder blog sites. I know you will be in for a treat!
Color Me Creative has a new challenge with the focus on distress inking with Copic alcohol markers. I just love to use the technique of distress inking. It is a technique I learned in Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom Class 3 Video 14. This technique gives a watercolor effect and you will notice there is a lot of white space. It is a technique frequently used by Scandinavian artists. Do you think trying to perfect this technique would be a good excuse to travel abroad? LOL! It is work a try! Check out this technique and join in the fun for the Color Me Creative Challenge: Distress Ink Effects Using Copic Markers!

ReplyDeleteOh Marie ... where does all of your creativity come from? I would never have thought to put the tree background behind Tilda but it SO works. What an absolutely perfect creation.

ReplyDeleteI am sooo happy you're back! You were lost and now you're found! :D
ReplyDeleteI see that the lack of Wifi has not hindered your amazing artistic talents and it was soooo worth the wait to see another of your stunning cards. Your eye for detail just gets better and better, if that's possible.
HUGE hugs,
Have a great weekend!
