It all started with this adorable image from the Digi Doodle Shop and my brand new--to me--Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I colored the image with a mix of Copics, Primas and my brand new--and now favorite markers--Kurecolor.
Summer color of brown--sand in 4 colors and Distress Stickles in Scattered Straw and Gold.
Blue: 4 colors of blue, 2 shades of grey for the sky and water. Put some clouds in the sky with a cotton ball and Brilliance Moonlight White. Covered the water with Rock Candy Stickles. Bathing suits and bucket in Kurecolor 340 Haze Blue and Copic BG72 Ice Ocean. DCWV papers. Ranger distress ink in Tumbled Glass to edge the papers.
Martha came through for me --used the punch to make the butterflies.
I printed and fussy cut the little cutie sitting in the sand. After coloring, I glued the feet flat and pop dotted the head for a 3-D effect.
