Hi Blogging Beauties,
Before I get onto my card I just wanted to appologise for being such a bad blogger lately. I have lots of comments from lovely people that I have read, but havent published yet because I wanted to return the favour and leave you a comment too. I hope to get to those tomorrow. Life has been busy and everything seems to be getting left to the extreme last minute including my posts this week! I hope to turn over a new leaf next week and get right back on top of everything. So thanks for being patient with me.
Over at Mad for Markers the entries for Ashlee's "Create a Scene" challenge are looking amazing and so are the inspiration from the DT! I picked a Magnolia image for my card and I have always wanted to try a cloud background. I visited youtube and came across this great video by Annika Ryan which I watched and tried to emulate. I didnt have the same colours as her so I used what I had. Then I watched a tutorial by Melyssa Connolly on how to colour grass and gave that a go too. I have included links to the videos in case you want to check them out yourself.

The Copics I have used on my card are:
Reds: R53, R46, R59
Yellows: Y15, Y17, Y38, Y02
Hair: E35, E57, E37, E31
Skin: E11, E51, E02, R20
Sky: B93, B32. BG000, C-0, C-1
Grass: YG67, G99, GY63, YG03
Warm Greys: W-1, W-3, W-5, W-7
Since the image is so large, and the focus, I kept the rest of the card fairly simple.
I hope you can find a little bit of time to join in our challenge!
The winner will have a GD spot at Mad for Markers.
