Gridlines

Kyra has an interesting challenge for us over in the Mix-Ability forum at Splitcoaststampers - we're supposed to add gridlines to a line art image or to a die cut. She's got some photo examples and stepped-out instructions if you'd like to try this yourself! Can't say I'd do this again... but there's a reason we call these 'challenges'!! Right? Here's my card:

The image I used is one of the exclusive digital stamps I drew for my pencil coloring class, Pencil Basics. I drew in a random grid on each petal, at different angles depending on the direction of the petal's center, then filled in some of the rectangles with a Touch Twin Marker. I colored in the background with the same marker (CG6), and then colored the flowers with Prismacolor Pencils and Montana Acrylic Markers.

For the background, I used a variety of stamps from Impression Obsession. The sentiments is one of my favorites from Heart and Soul Rubber Stamp Co.!

We'd love to have you join us this week!

Crazy week - we finished up health class last Friday, and I was hoping for a restful week "just homeschooling"... but ended up having some students with family emergencies, a toddler on campus with symptoms of pneumonia, and no house help! So much for resting, and "just homeschooling"! So thankful for the weekend, and the 'good' exhausted feeling that comes from serving others. Have a great day! xo
