Here in Melbourne it's the middle of Winter - the wind is icy cold and blowing pretty darn hard today! It's sooo nice to be able to escape for a little into the Northern Hemisphere's Summer with Mo's new images. I've merged 2 of them together here - 'Jamal in July' is in Mo's store HERE and 'To The Beach' is HERE.
There are 2 versions of these Summer cuties available but I decided to go with these to challenge myself more with ethnic skintones - and who wouldn't want to hit the beach with golden skin anyway! Me - I'm usually VERY white or VERY red - I always seem to miss getting that golden glow - LOL!!!
Since this fits the Summertime theme over at Mo's Challenges I'll be entering it over there.
The lace I used along the top reminds me of little rays of sunshine - perfect to have my bird charm flying out of for Jamal to look at while his big sister keeps an eye on him! The DP is from Basic Grey and I've used my markers as usual to colour.
Wishing everyone a FABULOUS weekend
xXx

Debbie, Your To the Beach card is fabulous. Love the two merged images and the coloring is perfect. Thanks for playing the Mo's Challenge from the other side this week, always glad to see you!!!
Debbie, this is lovely! So many great details to see. I immediately though of this merge when I saw the two images...Jak did, too! Mine is merged but not colored yet.
Debbie, oh the image is perfect for the weather here. I'm sweltering in the heat wave. How I wish for cooler days just about now. Hmm... maybe not...I guess grass is always greener on the other side...LOL. I absolutely adore your card and your colouring is perfection itself. Have never tried doing this skin tone colouring. I must study how you do yours and try to copy it...LOL. The key word is TRY here.
Hugs.
