Picasso Doodle Challenge

Published by inkypaws at 2:44 pm under Fun stuff

The Inspiration Challenge today was certainly a challenge. Hmmmm…… a black and white Picasso doodle of a camel (I think). What to do? After a bit of thinking I decided to go with a Doodled butterfly from Autumn Leaves on a Fabriano Medioevalis 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ notecard. I smudged it a bit along the way, so my fix was to the add the sponged triangles on the sides. Nothing like a smudge to make you get creative!

I used post-its and grid paper to mask the corners. Then I made an extra triangle on each side and sponged those (I just kinda eyeballed those). Then I added the Signo Gel pen dots for accents. Not as simple of a design as I started out with, but I think I like the end result for the challenge.

Sets used: Butterfly from Autumn Leaves, Friendship Shapes

Paper: Fabriano Medioevalis notecard

Ink: Palette Ink - Noir

Accessories: Signo Gel Pen

Ok I couldn’t stand it. It had to have more color. I couldn’t help myself……hehe

So……….. I watercolored the butterfly using Pretty in Pink & Regal Rose and did a little shading on the phrase. I added a freehand line of Regal Rose along the sides. Then came the Gelly Roll Stardust pen for sparkle. I finished it off with white organdy ribbon.

Here’s my watercolored card:

    Isn’t it wonderful what just a spot of color will do? The B/W version is very elegant, but the watercoloring really brought it to life. Must check out those Autumn Leaves stamps soon!
