Orchard Love

Friday, August 03, 2012

Hi everyone! I am so excited because today is my first post as one of the newest Saturated Canary design team members!! Woohooo!! SO excited for this it is a dream come true :)


The challenge theme this fortnight is the great outdoors and I have used one of my favourite Saturated Canary images called Orchard Love. I even got to practice my clouds and grass technique again ;)


Isn't she just gorgeous! I love all of the detail in her outfit. Plus I am excited because one of my favourite butterflies from Kay's Kreative Korner just went perfectly with this ;)

I used my copics to colour her up and here are the colours that I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: E1, E25, E29
Dress: Pink R81, R85, R59 Red R32, R35, R37
Apples: R32, R35, R37
Grass: YG03, YG63, YG67, G99
Sky: BG0000, BG000, Clouds C0, C1, C2, C3



Can't wait to see you all playing along with this fortnight's challenge! :D Thanks for stopping by!

  11. She is lovely and your grass and clouds rock! I like how you left her feet bare in the grass so you can see them rather than flick grass over them. And love that pinky/red combo! And not a drop of snot on it that I can see...
