Patricia has a fun sketch challenge for us this week on the CC&S Challenge Blog.

I tried a couple of new-to-me watercolor techniques using Distress Inks.  The first is no-line coloring and the other is watercolor smooshing.  Stamping Bella's Tiny Townie Garden Girl, Lily of the Valley was stamped in Antique Linen on watercolor paper and then colored with the distress inks in my collection to create the no-line look.  (I liked this technique so much, I purchased some new inks this week!)  The trickiest part of the no line coloring was the flowers.  It's hard to tell from the photo, but weathered wood and spun sugar helped give definition to the flowers.  The same colors are used as a palette for smooshed background.












Pop by the CC&S Blog to be inspired by the rest of the DT!  Happy creating this week!

Happy New Year!  This first challenge on the A Day for Daisies Blog is an anything goes challenge.  My image is one of Tammy's new January Club Kit penguin digis, called Penguin Fairy.

I was playing around with watercolors this week and used them to color this cutie!  The only Copics I used were for shading the penguin!  This card could work for so many occasions - birthday, new baby, tooth fairy, birthday, etc.

Get out your favorite ADFD image and play along with us this week.  Good luck!
