Little Fluffy Clouds

It's not feeling too much like spring here, so I thought I'd colour myself a nice spring sky.   Thinking of a title for this post brought a song to mind, which I'm listening to as I type - 'Little Fluffy Clouds' by The Orb (yipes, it's 27 years old now 😲).

This is another tutorial from Make It Crafty's 'Colouring Skies' book.  I've changed it up a bit and used a different image (Summer Dreams) with the background.  The images come with the eBook download, which is awesome. 

I'm marking myself with a 'could do better' on the clouds, lol. I kinda got the shadow on the tops instead of the bottoms.  Rectified it a bit.  It was my first try though so I'm not too unhappy. 

ProMarkers used - Khaki, Pear Green, Apple, Forest, Bright Green, Leaf Green, Pine, Lavender, Powder Blue, Lilac, Cinnamon, Tan, Dusky Pink, Putty, Raw Sienna, Gold, Sunflower, Canary, Mulberry, Cerise, Pink Carnation, Burnt Sienna, Caramel and Sandstone

Don't forget the theme is EASTER/SPRING and there's still time to enter here.

This week Dianne challenged the DT to use Green in our creations.  I'm not especially fond of green, but I can always find some inspiration.  I have used 'Moth' from the Circle Oriental Kimono Lady set.  I really love these circular images as they're self-contained and make great card toppers, tags, ornaments etc.
