Have you had a chance to play along in The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge? Today is the 11th day I am participating in challenge! I have found it to be great motivation to work on my coloring.

For today's card I started out by stamping onto both the card base and some ROCK label paper. I then fussy cut the bowler babes from the ROCK label to create a removal paper mask. The coloring was done with a mix of alcohol markers and colored pencils. (You can see the way I blend my colored pencils in THIS video.) When that was done I put the label paper over the babes. I covered the bottom of the card with Post-It tape to create a division between the top of the card and the bottom.  And then I brought out a stencil and Amazon makeup brush to create the background. The bottom was created when I moved the Post-It tape up to where the stenciling had been done. Then I took the Almond ink pad and swiped it along the bottom of the card. After that I then brought out my T-square and a sharpie to draw lines over the swiped area of the card. This creates the illusion of the bottom being a wood floor. And then I brought out my Brown Grey marker to create a shadow under the bowler babes. To finish the card off I took some wood paper to stamp the sentiment on and placed it onto the card.
