Woo Hoo! After a few months off Digi Galore Challenges are back :D
We've got a new format - our challenges will be running each month on the 1st of the month.
We've got some amazing sponsors lined up so I hope you come along and join in.
Our sponsor this month is That Craft Place.
Now for some reason I've always been wary of the Sugar digis. I've no idea why - a bit of a mental block for me for some reason. Luckily that block has now lifted as after playing with Balloon High I'm completely in love. I can see me colouring many more of these in the future.
I kept my design fairly clean and simple as I wanted to focus on the image and the sentiment (also from That Craft Place)
I made the background using a range of my blue Copics in my Blitzer Hand Airbrush (the 1990's version of the Tim Holtz Sprtizer). I love the effect it gives for skies.
Here's a close up of Balloon High. I coloured her with my Copics.
I tried to make the balloons slightly transparent so the ones behind show through the ones in front.
I also added some Wink of Stella all over to give them a metallic shimmer.
I hope you like my card & would love to see your entries into the Digi Galore Challenge. It's 'Anything Goes' so nice and easy.
I'm glad you explained how you coloured it in. It really makes you appreciate how much work is involved to produce such a realistic picture. :)
ReplyDeleteYour colouring skills are awesome, Lucy, and I adore the sky effect you got with the airbrush. Really cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and your lovely comment - I feel bad about not telling you sooner but I've been so busy with hospital visits, nice outings (my hubby is determined to give me treats!) and keeping family etc. up to date with news... I will hop over to the forum and let them know there (felt guilty about them too!). All my hubby's treats are lovely but they do make me more tired... Still no definite news about the stage of the cancer and what treatment I may need, if any, after surgery, but hopefully I'll get definite news next week. I am very grateful to our wonderful NHS and the regular colonoscopies that picked this up, but if I hadn't had colitis I probably wouldn't have cancer! Ah well, you have to deal with these things as they come.
Thanks so much for the offer of help, but you need to look after yourself too and not take on stuff that will exhaust you!! We are doing well with Mum's carers and best of all, her greatly improved mood, which couldn't have come at a better time. I am sure we will manage.
Hugs,
