The Summer of Color is here! This is my first summer playing and a favorite color combo is featured this first week - Citron Green and Turquoise.
Kristin of Twinkle, Twinkle sponsors this challenge and there are gobs of people playing along. You can create whatever you like as long as you feature the weekly color combo.
I tried something new with this page - cut a girl from a advertisement.
Cut her into three manageable parts and then used spray gesso on all three parts. Painted each piece with a different color and reassembled and glued into my ledger journal.
Painted on some long hair, added a headband and then added texture to the underskirt by stamping curving teardrops with a small handcarved stamp.
