Through the Purple Haze Challenges #55 Inspiration Photo

Happy Monday to ya!!!
Today starts Challenge #55 at Through the Purple Haze Challenges!

http://throughthepurplehazechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/





We have two sponsors this week.


www.nikkiburnette.com

www.craftysentimentsdesigns.co.uk


Our theme this week is to use the photo below as our inspiration. It can inspire you in many ways:  Colors, feathers, motion, animals........... I let the colors inspire me and I added feathers, because it isn't every day you get to add feathers to a project!!!




I hope you are able to look at my card and see the inspiration.



My image is Tess-Summer Fun by Crafty Sentiments. I used papers and feathers from my stash and a cute little brown bow to tie the feathers together. I colored my image with Copic markers.

Copic markers I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E11, R04
Hair: E50, E51, E53, E81
Eyes: B63, B66
Dress: RV21, RV23, R32
Shoes: C4
Roses: R83, R85
Leaves: G24, G82
Other flowers: B34, B23, Y08, R000
Shading on ground: G000

  7. Lovely use of very pretty feathers. I came across your blog through the Creative Blog Hop - I was nominated by my friend Lucy along with Sam and Fiona, and thought I'd hop around and see what everyone was getting up to. Like you, Lucy is a great expert with promarkers/copics and all that lovely shading - this whole area is a closed book to me and I don't own any markers! My main area is mixed media art and I also do Zentangle and much else besides - do hop over to my blog and see what I get up to! I think this blog hop is a brilliant idea for discovering new blogs and new techniques.

    Happy Hopping on the Creative Blog Hop!
