Anyway, this card is your chuckle of the day. Not because of Phil, but because of my coloring. I really, REALLY love my Copics, but I have no artistic training so I'm a learn as I go kinda gal and I've got a LOT to learn and a long way to go. Well, I got to play along in one of the challenges a while back at Make It Colorful and really enjoyed it. However, I've been too chicken to play with any of the other challenges--WAY out of my league skill wise. My buddy Dana has been tearin' up the Top Three spots over there and if you've visited her blog you know why.
This weeks challenge was to use bright colors. That seemed pretty easy, but I decided to do a little experimenting thanks to Annika. She did this fantastic background for her image on her DT example for the challenge and I decided to try my hand at creating one for Phil. The saguaro and the two prickly pear cactuses were found on the internet. They are actually kids coloring page images. I resized them and arranged them on the background and drew the rest of it in by hand. Don't chuckle too hard now. It was my first attempt after all. {grin} It was fun just to play and enjoy coloring.
Guess I'll enter it into the challenge at MIC and give them a chuckle of the day too.
Blessing!

Wow Tracy! This is so beautifully coloured and I love how you added the mesh in behind the DP. I got a giggle out of the main image and that background is coloured oh wow just wonderful. Thanks for playing along with us at Make-it-Colourful. Hugs, Maria

This is so fun! Love the image and i think your coloring is wonderful!
Absolutely nothing wrong with this colouring! I love the image - I just found Just Inklined and bought about fifteen, stopping at that was the hard bit! The way you've coloured Phil is the ideal style for these fun images, do participate in more challenges; not so we can laugh AT you but with you :-) Dee
