Ok so the drawing from the last post..thanks for your comments, but I am by no means an artist, my drawings are very childlike, but I get to play at colouring in and that's all that matters lol






Here it is half coloured..






and finished..




I then used distress inks and a wet brush to fill in the background, I think I spoiled it a bit.. should have left well alone...but too late it was done. I then matted it on blue paper and then onto a white card.






Before adding stickles...




and gems...



and finally printed out this poem and stuck it inside.



you might be forgiven for thinking this was for a little girl, but no it is for my auntie who is 60 lol I don't do grown up stuff very well, but it is from the heart so I hope she loves it.

    Looks lovely! The childlike whimsy in your drawings are charming, but the execution is neat and polished. A winning combination :)

    I like the background. And you're right, Stickles take far too long to dry! x

    Its fab Darcy, I don't think you spoiled it by colouring the background at all, wish I could draw like that.
