DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY'S NEW RELEASE SUNDAY :: 'HAPPY HOUR'


It’s a YAY- SUNDAY again!!! Time to show you the week’s new releases at Digistamps 4 Joy:

The first image I have to share with you is called “Happy Hour”, and the reason i drew this one for the store is that I felt I needed to draw a non-cute, grown-up's image, because my sweet old mom keeps asking why I only draw images for little girls' cards .... you try explaining to my mom that girls are girls are girls ... whether they are 6 or 16 or 56 or 106 ... we are all girlz at heart ... anyone care to disagree? LOL!


So mom, here is a BIG girl's image ...


I used alcohol markers in primary colours because primaries always seem to make a bolder statement than secondaries.   The embellishments and DP I felt needed to be relatively simple in shape but bold in colour so as to compliment the depth of colour of the image.

This is not the only new release that I think you might like…

    Beautiful colouration of the image. Love the bold colours as well as the bold background. That gold really sets everything off. Thanks for joining our Anything Goes challenge at Stamp N Plus.
