November is a Thank you theme

November 1, 2017.

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to another installment    for Paper Butterflies. Here in Ontario we had such a wet summer, that we enjoyed the beautiful weather we were afforded in September and October!

November's theme is Thank you and there was sooooo many different things I could have done, so I have chosen this lovely Queen sitting on a sunflower (one of my favorite flowers) to color up for you today. 

In this entry, I colored the imaged with copic markers, but I also used some techniques that I learned at a watercolor class I recently took. 

These are the copic colors I used: 

HAIR: E15,YR23, YR24, Y21
BOW & SHIRT RV69, RV63, RV55
SKIN: E0000, E00, E08,E11,E21
PANTS: B95,B93,B91
SUNFLOWERS: R29, YR07, Y38, Y35,Y19
FLOWER CENTRE: G94, G99, G21,YG03
LEAVES: G94, YG11, YG13
TREE TRUNK: E09, E11,E15

It took me a long time to get the colors and coloring right but in the end I was happy with the end result.

Please join us for our monthly challenge over at color it, create it, show it off, for some awesome prizes. 

Until next time...........

Lauren
