Cuteness like you have never seen! Such variety of illustrations, each one so adorable and florals that are just beautiful.
Colorado Craft Company is now featuring images by artist Kris Lauren, owner and illustrator of Pretty Little Lines. She is totally the sweetest person ever and has been a joy to work with. You can check her out at www.prettylittlelines.com and see what lovely things she loves to draw. She has something for everyone…cutesy to classy and everything in between and now her images are available from http://coloradocraftcompany.co
Featured on my blog post today are a few of those cute images!
Masked up this cute scene and colored the images with alcohol Copic Markers and then did final detailing with Caran d’ache Luminence colored pencils to blend and intensify the colors. Gave a quick kiss of my white Gelly Roll pen for the spots on the mushroom and highlights on the little mouse cheeks. Background is a Lawn Fawn, Lots of Hearts stencil.
I love a whimsical image! This snail looks like he has a quilted shell! So cute! I decked him out in rainbow colors, here.
Here he is popped up on foam dimensionals looking over the mushroom image. A Lawn Fawn cloud die cut creates my sky above highlighting the black embossed sentiment included in this set.
One more for now as I am running away from chilly Alaskan weather for tropical sunshine! Fitting for this to be a beautiful peony, floral image with buds and berry accents. It is absolutely lovely and so fun to color!
This time I mounted my image on black card stock and did a 40# Vellum overlay to diffuse and soften my card.
