What a Cute Mystery!

The Mystery Swappers are at it again. This image is sooooo cute. I think I'm gonna have to stroll on over to The Angel Company and look around. I decided to go with a semi-monocromatic theme this go around.....blues and greens.....



I used my SU! ink pads to watercolor the image. The colors I used were, Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Wild Wasabi. I used my copics for the skin (E00, E000, R20, blender)

I'm really just learning the whole shading thing when I watercolor. It's a work in progress. :)


On the ticket that Tami sent us (thanks Tami for a gorgeous image!) I decided to make it my sentiment piece and I just wrote my greeting, "The Sun Will Shine Again!". I thought this could be a great "pick me up" card for someone.


Thanks for visiting today!


Until next time...

Blessings...
