Midnight Moonlight Magic

There is something about a full moon at midnight in that the sky is such interesting colors.  I added some watercolor around the moon to give it a bigger glow.

Autumn Blessings

I'm not sure that I colored some of this correctly as my eyesight isn't great at the moment.  I'm sure I colored some hair as though it was something else and other things as hair when they weren't/

Friends are Forever

 We are at the midway point of the June Challenge at Path of Positivity.  The optional twist for this month is "Inspired by a Pattern".  My inspiration came from an animal print - giraffe.  I love the patterns on giraffe and how at first glance they look the same but on closer inspection they are all unique.

I have used a giraffe skin patterned paper by Create with TLC.  The images are from unknown (top one), Doodle Dragon Studio (bottom one) and Cruzine (right one).  If anyone recognises the top one, please leave a comment as to whose image it is.  

I also added some tree stickers, vellum and a chipboard sentiment and banner.  Coloring is with copic markers.
