Well, here I am again, blogging! Two days in a row, can ya'll believe it? I'm back because I am so excited about one of the newest Pure Innocence sets from My Favorite Things called Snow Adorable (Well, I'm excited about all of them, but this one is different!). This little cutie is the first Pure Innocence BOY! We are only on Day Three of the MFT Teasers and ya'll get to see this sweetness! I KNOW!! When will it stop? Never.
So I spent yesterday afternoon putting this together and had a fun time seeing his little face come to life as I colored him with his dog. I don't really have a lot of blue Copics to choose from (yet--some are in the mail!), so I did the best I could with what I had to work with. Well, actually I do have plenty of them, but they all seem to be in the turquoise range! How did that happen? I would have liked for his pants to be a darker blue, more like denim, but still show contrast. Maybe I'll try again when I get my new Copics. Anyway, be sure to check out Kim's blog again today for direct links to the other MFT sisters who are spotlighting this new set and the other FOUR new Pure Innocence sets coming this Wednesday. Ya'll also don't want to miss your chance to be January's Guest Designer for MFT. Get all the details HERE! SUSIE Q-TIP: Create a "ground" with just a little swath of color under the feet of your main image. Add little black dots randomly (but not too much) with a fine-tip pen to tie it into the whole image.
