You Color My World

I played along with CAS(E) This Sketch #2:



and made this:

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I found that coloring the bursts with the Neon ink pads wasn't as simple as I'd anticipated. This was my fourth attempt, and I chose to embrace the color oopses and pretend I meant to do that. I did go back over the multi-colored stems with a green Memento marker to make them sorta uniform, but not. Sigh.

I decided the flowers needed black centers, and I colored some white pearls with a black Sharpie. I love that you can make any color pearls you want with Sharpies or Copics. I also decided the letters needed to be colored in, and I used my Neon Copics to do that.

Once again I think I've managed to get a squillion products on one CAS card. How does that happen? Well, at least I'm using my stuff, right? :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Products used but not linked below: black Sharpie, misc white pearls, misc white card stock. Also, I've linked to a collection of memento markers, but I bought mine singly.

    My rotten kids are always stealing my Sharpie - the black one, the others are hidden safely away - and I NEED IT all the time. Love the letters coloured in, and the I MEANT TO DO THAT multi-inked flowers. They look super funky in neon!

    Is that (gah!) neon pink I see there? I like it, I think your color oopses worked out fine.
