Passion for Markers - Animal Magic...

 Good morning, crafty buddies! It's Tuesday, which means it's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers...

It's my turn to host this week and I've picked a fun theme of 'Amial Magic', so I'd like to see all of your creations with animals on...these can be the main design image or an accompanying animal as in my DT card...

We're being sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a $6 voucher to their online store...

For my card, I pulled out an image from one of my all time favourite designers who sadly no longer trade, Digi Stamp Boutique - I just love the Rosie and Dan characters and picked out this one of Dan Fishing with his frog friend...

I coloured Dan with my Pro/Flexmarkers but sadly forgot to write a colour list, but if I would have to hazard a guess, I would say:

Skin : Blush, Disky Pink, Sunkissed Pink, Coral
Hair - Pastel Yellow, Champagne, Sandstone, Caramel 
Top shadows - Cool Grey 2
Jeans - Patel Blue, Arctic Blue, Celestial Blue, Cobalt Blue, China Blue
Frog - Apple, Chartreuse, Lime Green
Quay - Sandstone, Caramel, Cinnamon, Umber,
Fish - Mustard, Gold, Honeycomb
...(I think!) 

I picked out some papers from my scrap drawers (which I need to make a concerted effort to try and use up before I have to have a major cull) that contained the majority of colours in the image...now I know most people would say that it would be easier to pick out the papers and then colour the image accordingly, but my brain doesn't work like that?! Hence the scrap drawers full to bursting point!

I added a pop of orange in the two fishtail flags and finished off with some buttons and stars and an Avery Elle sentiment...

I hope you can find the time to play along with my fun challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations...

Crafty hugs,
