I am super excited to share this post with you today! Heather Valentin, artist of the ever-delightful Lacy Sunshine images, has started a new Facebook coloring group called Coloring Without Boundaries. It is a group to share all your coloring projects. Today is also the launch of a new challenge on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog. Visit the blog for details, and to see the fantastic showcase coloring pieces for this uber talented design team!
I used the delightful new image, Lil Tumble's Enchanted Keyhole
Here's what I created:
Let me take you through the process of how I got there:
Starting with skin.... I used Copic markers throughout. E0000, E00, E04, E11,E21,R20:
Then, I added her hair. I love this hair combo! It's B99, B93, V04, and I used C01 as my lightest color. I color my hair from dark to light. Her green eyes are: G20, G21, G24, and G28.
Next, her dress. I wanted a color that would match the hair, so I chose a shade of violet. I used V000, V01, V04, and V09. I said I color hair dark to light, but the dress, and most everything else, I color light to dark. I put my lightest (in this case V000) color down first. Then, I jump to my darkest color (here, it was V09), then work my way back down to the lightest color.
After the dress, I finished the rest of the project --
Keys -- Y11, Y23, Y26, Y28
Keyhole -- E70, E71, E74
Vines -- G40, G43, G46
Flowers -- YG00, RV00, Rv02, RV04
Dragonfly -- BV00, BV01, BV04, V000, BG000, BG01
I wanted to finish this piece into a card, although it isn't a requirement for the new coloring challenge blog. She just seemed to need something with a key behind her, and a "key to my heart" sentiment. Here she is, fussy cut and on a card:
I cut the key out on my Silhouette Cameo. The background paper is from Michele R Designs. The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with a heart-shaped die.
