Adrift...........

Isn't she beautiful? This was another of my norty but nice stash purchases that I've only just got round to playing with!! However, the real reason for this post is to let you know about the fabulous challenge GREYS over on the Graph'It Marker Challenge Blog and to announce that I've joined the design team! :)

I'd really love it if you could join us - you don't need to use Graph'It Markers, you simply need to follow the theme set for the challenge. Also, don't forget to pop over to the blog to join in with our Birthday Candy - it is absolutely amazing and I'd love it if one of my followers were to win.

Anyway,  I've decided to keep this make fairly simple to show off the image (as for once I'm actually pretty pleased with my colouring). I've attempted grey sky and moving water!!! Eeek!!

For those of you interested, the colours I used are as follows:

Water: Cool Grey 0 (9100), Cool Grey 1 (9101), Cool Grey 3 (9103)

Sky: Neutral Grey 1 (9501), Neutral Grey 4 (9504), Neutral Grey 6 (9506), Blender (0000)

Skin: Light Caramel (4170), Skin (4155), Powder (4135), Cotton (4115)

Boat: Smoke (3210), Lichen (3230), Havana (3245), Bronze (3250), Cigar (3255), Mocha (3280)

Figure/Flowers: Ghost (4125), Burgundy (5280), Aqua (6110), Lavender (6140), Bougainvillea (6170), Anise (8250), Military (8280)

The white spray was created using my new white Shake Marker from Graph'It - I actually have to say I love it!!! It goes on as a transparent liquid but drys opaque. To create the spray I dabbed the pen around the helm of the boat and then blended it with my fingers. Once it was dry and I was happy with the placement of the spray I gently built it up to increase the depth and tone.

I created the frame from an embroidery hoop which I covered with modelling paste and then painted with re-active paint. I added some punched flowers and leaves that have been painted with the re-active paint. Finally I attached the image to the frame.

Thanks for stopping by today.
