Paper Shelter - Rosettes

Hello Everyone!  A new challenge from Just Inspirational Challenges.  I had soooo much fun with this one.  Our very talented sponsor is The Paper Shelter.  I just LOVE colouring these girls, and The Paper Shelter make so many unique characters and scenarios.

This week's theme is Rosettes.  They can be a little challenging if you've never done them before, but watch a YouTube video or two and you'll be a pro in no time.

Here's my make for the challenge.  I'm a big pet lover and I think I'm going to give this one to my dog's groomer.  I tried playing around with Copic blender solution and textures (washcloth, sponge, cotton) to give the monsters texture. The image is called Monster Pet Shop

Be sure to head over to Just Inspirational Challenges and enter your Rosettes!

This week I have some exciting news!  I wanted a piece of art that incorporated my baby, Winston.  I came up with this....

His silhouette is made up of all the nicknames I have for him.  I posted on facebook and had such a positive response I decided to open my own Etsy Shop!  I can now create custom pieces for anyone using their dog's silhouette and their nicknames, characteristics, commands, etc.  I send the file in jpeg format so people can print and frame, use it to make mousepads, calendars, mugs, iphone cases, ...any kind of photo gifts.  Plus by sending a digital image customers don't have to pay for shipping.  Who knows if it'll take off, but I had my first order within hours of posting, so fingers crossed!!  Please feel free to check out other examples at The Crafty Meerkat

On to my card for the week.  This is one of the newer Saturated Canary images called Tidy Up.  I just love colouring all her pleats and long hair!

Sorry, I coloured her a while ago and can't remember what Copics I used!
