This week at Mo's Digital Challenge the talented Lisa is hosting and she
chose the theme Birthdays.. I used Mo's incredible Fishing image. This
image brings back so many great memories of growing up and fishing
with my dad.
I am also adding this to the SCS challenge today that is to use or create
with something new..I used 2 new techniques..One is sponging a scene
that I saw on Michelle Zindorf's blog and the second is the easel card. Love these..
I created an easel card..It is my first one. Then added my image that
was colored with Prisma Pencils and GooGone. I sponged the water
and sky with Summer Sun, Baja Breeze and Night of Navy SU ink. I added
some highlighting with a white gel pen. The little image I used on
the sentiment and main panel is from 2Redbananas. I added some
hooks from my son's tackle box. This will go to my Dad for his birthday..
This image is available at Mo's Digital Pencil Too.
Fabulous card Dawn, love the sunset it's gorgeous!.
