A New Challenge and A New Technique

Hi everyone!!  Yep, it's time for a new challenge at Michelle Perkett Studio!!  This week our challenge is to create a side step card and to also use spring colors.  I am so ready for spring to get here!!!

Well....the side step card is a totally new technique for me but so is the way I have colored this BEAUTIFUL Just Breathe image!!!  As some of you may know, I have been taking a class over at My Creative Classroom called Coloring Craze.  This class is teaching us how to color with a lot of the different mediums that are available to us such as colored pencils (with and without OMS), watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, markers (both water base and alcohol) and water coloring with dye inks.  This class has been so much fun for me!!!  So, this week my image is colored with Distress inks and I have to admit....I think I could become highly addicted to this technique!  Of course it will never take the place of my Copics but it really is easier to do than I thought it would be!  Here's my card using both the side step technique and coloring with Distress inks...............
Okay, my card is a little plain but I haven't quite grasped the whole concept of decorating side step cards!!  :P

I hope you will stop by the Michelle Perkett Studio challenge blog and check out what the rest of the DT has done with this challenge.  WOWZA....they blew me away!!!

Thank you for stopping by today and hope to see you again!!

Have a good one!

Tammy, I think this turned out great! Looks like your mermaid is just about to swim right out of the card.
