I hope you are all enjoying your week and that you are having a chance to relax and have some fun. Things hopefully will slow down here soon so we are taking full advantage of it. I'm not at all ready for school to start and luckily, we have a few weeks. How's your summer going? Hopefully, awesome!
I had a blast creating for this sketch and I know you will to. Here's my take:
Sometimes you just have to go a little nautical, don't you? I've been dying to use this wave die from Avery Elle and this was the perfect opportunity! I cut it from some watercolor look patterned paper and added a layer of white behind for the white caps on my waves. Then I got to work coloring my little pirate from Neat & Tangled. Once he was in place and hemmed and hawed about what sentiment to use and I decided to make my own with some glitter foam Thickers. Shockingly, I waited to pick my background paper until I had my focal point built. I tried wavy papers, checked papers, even solid papers, but my eye kept coming back to this striped paper. Bonus, it matches my pirate boy's shirt! Here's a closer look:
