Hello crafters
Another fortnight has passed so it's time again for another Polkadoodles challenge over on our blog. You can choose any theme and any project to share with us for a chance to win images.
I have today used one of my all-time favourite images - Winnie Octopus kisses I have seen some comments recently about people not feeling confident to colour, so just as a reminder - Polkadoodles also do pre-coloured versions of most of the images, so if you lack confidence, or even if you need a quick card in an emergency, the pre-coloured images are amazing!
If you do like to colour - then for this image I used Copic markers for a base colour. I used a couple of shades but didn't do much blending. Over the top, I then used polychromos pencils to add depth to the shadows and texture across the image. They are great for adding small detail too such as flicks in the hair. It really helped with the effect of pearlescence on the tail. it looks like it shimmers between the purple and the turquoise. Finally, I added a white gel pen for a glittery effect
The papers are from my polkadoodles stash, when I print out digi images that have matching papers I keep them in a pile on my desk so I can pull them out when needed so I don't waste anything.
All then finished with twine, stickles glitter and some Nuvo drops.
I'd like to enter this into:
