Yellow

Today I'm sharing the first page in my art journal and I have used a beautiful image from Unky over at The East Wind.  She produced this image back in May and I have finally finished colouring it.  I challenged myself to use my SN pencils.  I had nearly finished it when the picture got creased and I couldn't bring myself to redo it so it sat here in my craft room just looking at me until I decided that by the time it was finished being coloured and then cut out the crease would no longer be visible and so I completed my colouring, I'm glad I did!

Unky gave the image away to those that requested it and all she asked for in return was that we share our completed image and raise peoples awareness about the Sewol Ferry Disaster that happened in April 2014 in South Korea, 304 people lost their lives and 250 of them were high school students on a school trip.  If you Google 'Sewol Ferry Disaster' you will find lots of information about it.  I don't recall hearing about it at the time and I have used the other page of my journal to write about it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will check out the Sewol Ferry Disaster.

BUGABOO

prize...7 images of winners choice

I have used the wonderful image 'JJ Wine', she is coloured with a mix of markers and for the wine bottle I have coloured the wine with SN Sparkle pens then the bottle has been given some glossy accents along with JJ's glasses and drink, the wine label has also been coloured with SN Sparkle pens but I really can't get the sparkle to show in the photos.  The dotty paper is also glittered.  The flowers are stamped and embossed with Seafoam white and then die cut, the leaves are actually a feather die! lol and I added some dotty ribbon and stamped sentiment direct to the cs.
