Whipped off a quick one today....

I have been VERY inspired to create recently....  So today, in between laundry, haircuts and a visit with Jen, I made this little gem for the sketch over at Sketchabilities.

Here's the sketch....



......and here's mine.....



I loved the colours in this photo but I wasn't sure how to enhance the intense blue of her eyes.  Every paper seemed to compete with their colour, so I opted for a fleshy yellow and coral mix with some touches of navy.  I love this combo!



I made the flowers by punching white and yellow cardstock, then wetting it and shaping it before allowing it to dry.  I used blush to add a subtle colour to the insides of the blooms and then used a bit of homemade glimmer mist and smooch on some of them.




This photo shows the subtle colour created by the blush and a q-tip that some have, and the more intense colour from the smooch that other's have.  The overall shimmer is the mist I made.

Thanks for peeking!
