I was away last week for Colin's birthday and we spent a couple of days on an idyllic island, where we had this glorious beach all to ourselves on an unusually sunny day. For a Valentine's Day present Colin took me to the Nantes version of our shop 'Great Art'. I was in heaven, stroking the pencils! I bought myself some more Neocolor crayons too.
I then scribbled the crayons on the images and pushed the colour around with a waterbrush. I love how the poppies turned out, so vibrant!
I then chopped the pieces up to make cards. I added a few white pen highlights. Not very exciting, but I did need some more birthday cards.
I am entering the PaperArtsy wax challenge which is here.
Lucy this is gorgeous. The beach looks pretty fabulous too. Glad you had a well deserved break

ReplyDeleteGorgeous masterboards Lucy and beautiful cards as a result. I'm not a beach person (have an aversion to sand, lol) but that does look lovely and as Helen said I'm glad you got a break.

The masterboard was so beautiful, love the hues you choose and the delicate floreal pattern you created, and the card you got are so lovely, Lucy!
ReplyDeleteThe island looks truly idyllic - and a crafty shopping trip into the bargain - how lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour masterboard is absolutely stunning. It reminds me of a medieval tapestry somehow - just gorgeous - and the cards are lovely.
