Today I want to share with you a card which was a joint effort with a delightful 11 year-old. I was working with a group of girls ages 9 to 11, who were sharing a play date about coloring. I was introducing them to markers as a step up from crayons and I had taken with me a couple dozen images on a flash drive.
I colored a couple of printed samples to show them how alcohol markers worked and this particular young lady was interested in how I did the shading to emphasize a light source and shadows. She took one of the images and did her own shading on it as I gave her suggestions. She was so proud of it and wanted to know if it could go on birthday card for her mother. She even gave me the idea for the sentiment so I printed another image with the sentiment added and she colored it again. This one was even better! She chose mostly pink markers this time, using gray markers for the shading.
I brought her colored image home with me and turned it into this card, then send it to her so that she'll have it for her mom's birthday on January 29. Since this is the image (complements of Di's Digi Designs) for the Outlawz Progressive Challenge, I'll use this card as my entry over there.
After she colored the image (ProMarkers and Tombows), I cut it with a die from Spellbinders. I layered that onto a pink card base and tied a simple bow using pink, gingham ribbon. I kept the card design very CAS so that the fancy frame would be a focus point, along with her coloring.
