Passion for Markers - In or On the Sea...

 Good morning again, crafty friends! It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers with the lovely Lorraine picking out a fun theme of 'In or On the Sea'...so whether it's boats, buoys, fish, or seahorses, if you can find it in or on the sea, we want to see it on your creations...

We're being sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps who are offering one lucky winner 2 digital images from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out Little Fishes...

I coloured this sweet little sailor with my Pro/Flexmarkers and here's the colour list I used :

Skin - Blush, Dusky Pink, Tan

Hat - Sapphire, Midnight Blue, Blender, Pebble Blue

Reds - Sunset, Firebrick

Dog - Champagne, Caramel, Cocoa

Boat - Sandstone, Cappuccino (Prismacolor pencils for texture)

Tug - Buttercup, Mustard, Gold

Fish - Pumpkin, Bright Orange

Sea - Duck Egg, Pastel Blue (Prismacolor pencils for texture)

I kept my card quite clean and simple, using the image as the top two thirds of the card and adding a blue gingham to the lower third. I paper pieced the flags of the boat with patterned paper and hand drew a couple of birds in the sky. I then added a die cut sun, inked with Wild Honey Distress Oxide and of course, a couple of die cut clouds (because it would be rude not to?!) A strip of soft orange and a stamped sentiment finished the card...

I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge this week and look forward to visiting your blogs to see what you come up with!
