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.
