The challenge for this week is Summertime, which came in handy for me because I was already in such a sunny mood just getting to be a guest designer!
And as promised earlier this week I managed to let the Circus-podes stay in bed: Today's friends are the sun, border waves, Bathing Beauty and Vintage Bather.
I painted a canvas board with some generic light blue acrylic paint and Hellmuth studio paint called "Smidge of Blue" then created a big chunky cloud.

I colored the waves and bathers on the computer, with highlights added by hand; the sun is entirely hand colored with Sharpies! Yay! Sharpies!
"Hip to be square," is printed in blue on gray paper and inked with Distress Ink in broken china.
I hope that you like this silly creation, and that you try out some Summertime creating of your own!
Well it is so obvious why your were asked to be a guest desinger! Love this canvas and the clouds are that perfect touch! Fabulous project and congratulations!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I am not suprised, your love of Octopodes shines clearly! Hmmm. Wonder if she would sponsor us again? What a FUN month that was on The Altered Alice!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat beach scene, such a fun composition. I really admire your technique of mixing the digital coloring with the hand drawn highlights! I just got a new color laser printer so I am going to have to try this out!
