PIP Challenge 2440

 

Our Sponsor is

Pattie's Creations

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Patties Creations.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing images for the design team to use.  My card this week is using Pattie's Big Beautiful Bathing Beauties.  I kept the card pretty clean and simple because I wanted the emphasis to be on loving oneself.  Lately, it seems like society is trying to make everyone look the same.  All of our bodies are different.  Our health is different and some people have chronic conditions that make it hard to exercise at a gym, let alone have the extra money for it.  Ok, off my soap box.

I started out by combining the image with my own saying in a watermark program, then printing the combined image on Neenah white card stock.  After trimming down to the size I wanted, I colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts colored pencils and a blender pencil.  Once the coloring was finished, I blended Tim Holtz tumbled glass, broken china, tea dye and brushed corduroy distress inks using my blending brushes.  The only embellishment added was waterfall ice stickles to highlight where the "ocean" would be.
