This week over at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Elaine is our hostess
again this week.. She challenged us to create something beach related.
After trying to decide which image to use I saw this sweet little guy
and thought he would be perfect for a beach type theme. He is called
Out There and is available at Mo's Digital Pencil.
Mo created this image in memory of a sweet little boy
named Layton.
I colored him with copics (in nontraditional sailor colors). I wanted some
deeper shading on the dog so I colored with copics and then I
added some sparkling H2O's. It gives it a deep rich color.
The button is a handmade ceramic button I got on Etsy. The cloud
die is from My Favorite Things.. I LOVE this die.

Lastly our former DT member Michelle Oatman had a terrible accident and
lost her eyesight in one eye. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers
as she goes through this life changing transition.
