Today is Mo's Dream Team blog hop and I'm so glad you've stopped by! The challenge is to use nestabilites or punches in your project! Easy to do! You should have come here from Liza's wonderful blog. Our host and first Hop Stop is the delightful Rosette.
I almost always use a nestability shape for my focal image, so this time I pulled one out that hasn't seen much use. I also decided to make an easel card. They're fun, easy and I hadn't done one in awhile. The image is Kai at Halloween. There is another one with him dressed as a pirate and the winter Kai is adorable too so I've linked the whole search page for "Kai" for you.
Kai is colored with copics. I've started to add another color to skin for better blending so now I'm using E000, E11, E01 and R30.His cat costume is all the odd numbered Cs (cool Greys)
the pumpkin is YR12, YR15 and YR18
I didn't want to use greys around the image as I often do because of all the grey already in his costume so I use Violets-V0000, V01 and a touch of V06 in the darkest shadows. My pics don't show the depth of color around him as well as I'd like.
Anyway, it was so much fun to color my first Halloween image of the season and I hope you like it, too.
Now off you go to Debbie P's place in Australia!
Thanks a bunch! Have a superior day!
