Sunshine, Beach, and BBQ with a little waterfall

Hello everyone! Today is my first post as an Inspiration designer for Make It Crafty and this week we are inspiring you to use the theme “Sunshine, Beach and BBQ” with the option of coloring water. Well, I thought, why not forge ahead and do it all! So this is what I came up with.

My flowers are handmade, hopefully a little tropical looking and I colored Cordelia with blue first then went over the blue and the uncolored portion with some purples to get the gradation of color. Stickles on her tail and the seashells in her hair for some glitter. For the foliage I did add in some definition with a copic multiliner and then sorta  squigled some dark green on for texture and then did some shading from dark to light to add depth.  I dotted some deeper brown on the ground also for a little texture. I kept the rest of the card simple to show off the scene.

Copics
skin E000, E00, E11, E13, R20,BV02
tail  B02, B04, B06, V12
ground  E51, E55, E57, E59
palm leaves  G21, G24, G29
foliage  G29, G03, G05, G07
water  B00, B02, B04, B06, B69
