So, if you want to be sure you're entered to WIN what's coming next week, you'll want to play in this challenge. And it's a great sketch! Now... Julie will have prettied this graphic up a lot better on the Flourishes Blog, but when I was getting ready to write this post up early, I only had a basic version of the sketch as follows.
And I pulled out my beautiful raspberries from the Berry Sweet set to play with the sketch...
I picked a bit of an unusual color-palette with this MME paper A Happy Heart, and then adjusted the sketch a wee bit to work with the design, making the front panel out of the horizontal panel.
I had so much fun taking my time to color these berries too, they are my favourite summer berry...I think.
I chose pointillism in the background with different sized dots to mimic the seeds of the berries as well as the polka-dots on the paper.
Here's the copics I used.
Now be sure to visit the rest of the team and see what they've done with this great sketch....and be sure to join us! You could win the July New Releases! Keyword for submitting to online galleries....FLLCJUL12 Details on the Flourishes Blog!
