Hey everyone! It is the first of the month!!! And that means another challenge is live from The Greeting Farm!!!

The theme this time is summer, and I went with some mermaids, because everyone swims in summer!!

I coloured up one of the mermaids and a couple of the fish from the Little Mermaids set then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I created the background using distress inks and then some water to create the splats.

Giraffing Me Crazy

Hey everyone! Today I am here to share my card for My Favorite Things Card Sketch Challenge #334.

I coloured up the Giraffing Me Crazy images with my new Zig Clean Colour real brush pens.

MFT Giraffe

This was my first time playing with my new markers, I used Fabriano Artistico 140lbs hotpress watercolour paper.

MFT Giraffe 2

This sketch was awesome and I love how this card turned out! The layer of patterned paper, inked paper and the white frame really work together well.
