Give a Cheer
I started with a page of watercolour paper that I had given a watercolour wash in a lovely bright blue with a Karin Marker and a water pen. Nothing complex, I just scribbled across the top and then drew the colour down with my water pen. I just love the fade towards the bottom and the bright intense colour at the top, it just resonated for this summer sky for me. Next I diecut the Whimsy Stamps Build-An-Island palm trees and island from white cardstock, in this case, I used Bristol Smooth Cardstock to ink blend this island scene. I used Pumice Stone Distress Oxide for the sandy base, Walnut Stain for the tree trunks and a mix of Rustic Wilderness and Mowed Lawn for the Leafy Tree Tops. I splattered the whole panel with water after for a bit of texture and interest and then masked the trees and splattered some Walnut Stain over the sand for some darker sandy texture. I added the island to the base with foam for a bit of dimension, then added my wee gnome that was coloured with Copic Markers also on foam for a bit of further dimension. Super cute gnome is by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
