Mixing Mediums with Tilda On The Go

Happy Monday!  I'm taking a break from sitting in ICU at the hospital with my aunt to post a card for Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is one of my absolute favorites - mixed medium

When I took my colouring class at My Creative Classroom, my instructor Colleen Schaan taught us how to add shadows on images coloured with copics by using coloured pencils.  Also how to add grass and grounding on the image by using coloured pencils.  Chalks are great for adding some interest to the background or adding blush to cheeks.  Mixed medium is the result any time you use more than one colouring medium on an image - copics, coloured pencils, watercolour paints, distress ink, chalks, etc. 

This week I am using one of my brand new Bon Voyage Magnolias from Diana at Magnolia-licious.


Tilda was first coloured with copic markers.  Then I added some depth to the shadows and added grounding with my Lyra coloured pencils.  I used chalk to mute the white background and add blush to Tilda's cheeks.


I followed the sketch at Sketch Saturday - thanks Jeanette for another gorgeous sketch!  Tilda On the Go will also be entered into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp! - pearls and lace
Magnolia Stamp Lovers - fall colours (muted brown roses, golden shirt, muted blue dress)
Just Magnolia - anything goes
Stamp and Create - pearls and gems (flower spacers and pearls both from Stamp and Create)
Bunny Zoe's - vintage


Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your mixed medium creation on Paper Sundaes!
