I had fun coloring a background for this image (details of that below) and once it was finished didn't feel that all the grays clouds and blue skies fit the theme very well, so I added more pink through the papers, flowers and pearls. Yep, that looks better!
The rain puddle was a direct inspiration from Delphine's project using the same image. I loved how she had colored the water on top of the sidewalk so I gave that a try following her instructions. I like how it turned out but thought maybe next time I should leave more lighter areas - one things is for sure, she found the perfect colors and I love them. Thanks Delphine for the inspiration!

Oh Barbara, don't thank me, let me remind you it was all your fault... It all started with the idea of drawing a sidewalk (your idea:-)), colouring wet, using Paprika who called for a puddle... Yours is just perfect! I love the whole background you have created for Paprika, love your choice of pink and grey, and your papers and embellishments are perfect! A gorgeous page! Hugs Delphine xx
ReplyDeletePS: Thank you for your lovely comment about my sunset too:-)
Yep, I have them all in a journal and actually create the project right on the page. If I ever need to use one then I can tear it out but for now, they're all conveniently together. :D
ReplyDeleteShe is such a fun image Barbara but your colouring and layout has made her look as if she is truly enjoying the rain.
ReplyDeleteHugs Shirley x x
