Did I get sidetracked? Maybe a little.
Tonight I had to battle through the chemical formulae to come out carfting at the other end – Mother’s 70th birthday on Friday and as we’re off to the cinema tomorrow evening to see “War Horse”, I figured I had to get her birthday card made today.
I hadn’t coloured this image by House Mouse before, and the apples are a bit hit and miss – any hints on how to colour a nice shiny red and green apple would be gratefully received! Hoping it’ll pass muster with the old dear, though ;)

The sentiment is also from a HM un-mounted rubber stamp set along with the one I stamped inside the card which says “On your birthday”. Very un-blinged. Just the way I like it :)
Looove it! The image is lovely and I love how the rabbit is coloured.
ReplyDeleteThe apples look fine, have you tried Sakura white glaze, it gives a shine but does not change the colour underneath.
Oh my gosh, Claire!!! Your coloring is totally amazing!! You sure are an artist!! Love love love it!!
ReplyDeleteVery Nice Color job. I prefer the apples just the way they are--right off the tree not polished.
ReplyDeleteNice job, Ace! You need to do this more often...might turn into a talent...haaa!
ReplyDeleteps. serves you right for the cheeky comment you left me!;P
