A little bit about my colouring journey...
If you've been following my blog at all you'll see that my colouring has improved in leaps and bounds since starting the Skin and Hair class over at Kit and Clowder.  I can't wait to get into the Clothing class soon (I've signed up and printed the class booklet, and done a little reading) and have even played around with the All About Animals Class.

Here's a peek at my before and after images...
coloured after taking only part of the Skin and Hair Class

Some weekend colouring fun at Kit and Clowder

We are having fun over at Kit and Clowder this weekend.



I had some fun colouring up these two cute images from 2 Cute Ink.  The images can be found here.






Here's what I created


Colours Used
Flower R24, R29, G94
Bear E04, E08, E15
Snow B02
Clothes G07, R24

I coloured them with copics on tissue paper and heat set them on candles
 (from the dollar store...shhhh)

I'm giving them to a dear friend for Christmas.  She's like a Grandma to my son and I do hope she loves them. 


If you want to learn to colour Kit and Clowder is the place to be.
The very talented Alyce Keegan offers classes for all levels of experience.
I personally have benefited greatly by taking the Skin and Hair Class, Clothing Class and All About Animals Class (and a few other project classes)
Pop on over to Kit and Clowder and check them out.
