Anyway, enough moaning, while I was waiting for a long soaky bath to run this afternoon after the BBQ clean-up, I checked out this weeks challenge on LIM, which is a one layer card featuring something with legs. As I'm also entering Crissy Armstrongs current DT challenge I decided to use one of my favourite of her images - Buster the bulldog.
As this is one-layer week at LIM, I decided to do him very simply as I've coloured him before this way on kraft card and knew it works really well. I've just used 4 shades of brown, grey and a hint of cream faber castel pencils on buster and blended them with sansoder and blending stumps. A green colour, a little green grass to ground the image and his sentiment in a matching green finish him off nicely. If you like Buster, check out Crissy's challenge and all her other amazing images - she captures the expression in animals especially so well.
Off to check out what the rest of the LIMettes have been up to this week - I've missed my morning LIM fix :-(

This is fabulous Tara. Perfect for the challenge. I`ve not had a problem with blogger, just the odd comment I can`t leave. I hope it doesn`t go like last time.

Tara - Buster couldn't look more fed up if he tried!!! This really made me smile. Lovely image, beautifully coloured. It's great.
ReplyDeleteAs for Blogger - I rather like the new look - and once you get used to it, it's fine. However, everytime they tweak it, something plays up!!
BTW - well done on doing a BBQ for 50 on your own!!! Mad woman!
