Hello Whimsy Fans, Iris here today. Did you see this months Whimsy Digital Release yet? So much cuteness! My first creation here today features the most adorable shark I've ever seen so far. Please meet
Shark Shawn illustrated by no other than the fabulous
Crissy and the digital
Fish Sentiments set designed by our very talented
Tracy.
I colored Shawn with my Copics. I then added the water using different
blues of Memento ink pads - I applied them with my Clarity Brushes - to
make his body appear to be partially under water. I love the soft effect
it gives when you apply the ink with these brushes, much smoother than if
you would sponge the background. My fellow DT sister Jeanette shows a 'How-to' on this technique in the latest Whimsy YouTube Video. You can
watch
it
HERE.
To add the glittery whitecaps I stippled white Gesso along the water line and sprinkled
it with white super fine glitter as long as it was still wet.
My second creation uses
Bunny Balloon by Kirsten Winkelbauer. This one is availabe in red rubber! I colored with Pastel Pencils which was actually an experiment and my first time using pastels. If you want to know more about my experience with them, read it all
here.
I cut the
word celebrate
from light blue foil cardstock which I also used as layering cardstock.
I doodled around the image and added some matching light blue
rhinestones to finish my card.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the week!
Iris
