Sending a Smile

Really enjoyed working with the new releases from Stamp Anniething. I have been trying to learn different skin tones, and this trial version of Joseph, Sending a Smile seemed like it was worth saving and making into a card!

I also used the Geo Triangle Stencil on my card blank to add a bit of interest and gems from the Valentines Enamel Dot Set.

Here he is in the shop:

And here is my version –

The nerdy pencil stuff – With this skin tone blend I was trying out using a base coat of Faber Castell Polychromo 268 – Green Gold and for the red element – Faber Castell Polychromo 191 Pompeian Red. I did also add a touch of FB Polychromo 109 Dark Chrome Yellow near the end of the skin layers just to remove a hint of green. So in the end I used, 101, 109,132, 180,187,190,191 and 268 in this skin tone mix!

I may have been using Taylor Lautner as my inspo for Joseph, don’t tell! 😉

Thanks for joining me today! I am really enjoying the challenges associated with leaving my skin tone comfort zone, and I loved giving Joseph a bit of a badass make over, lol! What kind of challenges do you like with your art and craft?
