I saw a similar picture to this on the web, so pencilled the design out on a white card. I dry painted the sky and then added some yellow for the sand.
At my art class last week we tried using salt crystals to see the results so I thought that this would be my opportunity to try it at home. I tried this out on the 'sand' and left it to dry. The result was not as good as I expected so I dusted off as much salt as I could and repainted, then added a die cut 'shell'. I drew the pencil lines with my black pen and coloured the boy with watercolour pencils. I used mica powder in my paint for the sunshine - it really needed to shine!
I printed out the mask and coloured it in blue with my promarker pen. When it had dried I cut out the mask and the eye spaces, Stickles in gold edged the borders and detailed some of the patterning. I used some gold card for my background, with a PC printed sentiment - highlighted with Stardust stickles. I moulded the mask to give it a 3D effect, attaching the sides to the card and added some blue feathers to each side. I trimmed theses feathers but now I wish I hadn't - makes them look as though they have just come from the barbers!!!
I used a PC printed image for my last card and went to work on it with my metallic and glitter gelpens. Dedicated colouring going on here!!!
I attached the finished image and then used a silver Sharpie to edge the card.
