Tammy is doing another re-release for A Day For Daisies this week of some fun tree images while she irons out some wrinkles in her store makeover. I chose to use the "Happy Tree" image on kraft and color with Prismacolor pencils. This image is on sale for 50% off this week by the way. :-)
I'm not overly proficient with my pencils but this time I tried to stick to blending with them instead of using the odorless mineral spirits to blend. I like the effect I got. It's kind of hard to see but I outlined the kraft die cut in gold gel pen. I have a drawer full of funky trims from my scrapbooking endeavors and I found this great blue fancy yarn to use for my tag pull.
It's pretty CAS but I needed something to use in my Bible that wasn't real bulky. If you'd like to play along with our new challenge we're looking for "Anything but a card" projects. You can find all Tammy's great images in the ADFD store and you can find the challenge on the ADFD blog.
Happy Friday!

ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning! I love this tree and the colours just pop against the kraft! Perfect verse to go with this to!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tag for your Bible, Tracy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see that you & your little sweetie do craft together. Nothing like it & it makes for wonderful memories. I'm sure she eventually got over her disappointment about having to share you with her family...lol. You'll just have to make it up to her another time.
Have a FABulous weekend, GF! My son & dil are coming over tomorrow to go swimming before they head 2 hours north of us to settle into their new home. waa waa waa
