Mommy's Day Card

So, as I was pondering what card to make for my mom for mothers day, I kept coming back to the sunflower owl image.

I had not colored this image yet, and no matter what other images I looked at, I just kept picking this one up. So I decided to have a go.

The yellows are Y11, 13, 18 and some YR 18 for good measure. The greens are the G21, YG67 and G99. The browns were kind of all over the map. I used some E4x, E3x and E5x on different areas.

I love the owl images, but this one with all the layers of petals around the eyes, was a lot of fun to color. I used some paper from my stash of 6x6 paper pads. 

And for extra good measure - just to show my mom what a DORK I am, I added the sentiment which I printed out from my handy dandy laptop.

Now it is time to go do a bunch more coloring, and craftying and all sorts of stuff. Have a great weekend!

If your nekkid - put a box on it

So I got to color a little bit this weekend, and one of the things I colored was an image by Aurora Wings called Thep Kinnaree. When I decided to color her I decided to go au naturale and all... But then if I want to post to Facebook groups I thought - Oh my I need to cover it up. So someone suggested the black box of modesty. So I have both versions below - up close and the entire projects.

First up was with the modesty box. I will give my information on colors, etc... here, and then below after appropriate warnings and GASP spoiler space... will be the ones without that teensy eensy modesty box in case it offends anyone - and people will be appropriately warned. :-)

Her skin is E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, her hair is E49, 37, 33.  For the greens I used several including the G29, 19, 14, YG 17, 13, and 11. The purples are V17, 15, 12. The wings are E43, and E40 with a touch of the V12. The final colors are the B18 and B12 as well as a touch of Y15, R17 and YR16.

 Oooooo SCANDALOUS.

Ok. That is my post for today.  Hope you all are having a great week. TaTa!  (hee hee)

Happy Happy MAY!

I cannot believe it is May. And it has been several months since I have worked on my covered Box. So I decided, it is getting warm, lets go to the Southwest for the next side of my box.

This is FIRE, one of the Elements Collection over at Susana Loves Stamps. I love this one because I grew up in Tucson and El Paso, and it reminds me of both places. 

The fire was fun to color, but I think I enjoyed coloring the sun and the hawk the most. I am not sure why, as usually those are not my things, but this was a blast. The Hawk is E49, 39, 35, 33, 31. His beak is Warm greys with Y19, Y15 faded in. And his eyes are a mix of YG61, 67 and B32 from the sky. 

Once done I modpodged the image to the box. I will say Mod Podging is not my best skill. But I am enjoying my little modpodged box. One more side to go.
