Hello....it's alpha challenge time again and the letter is M......only this time it had to be between MA and ME.....so that meant Monkey was out!! So actually Lee shouted out Martian and I thought yes why not.....so here are my Martian pages!
So here's how I did it - I gessoed the pages first and then drew on Mars with a marker pen......I coloured that with pastels and also the black background leaving the definition showing. Then I drew the Martian and coloured it with pastels and cut it out, and used a little walnut stain distress ink and a craft nib for a few highlights and shadows here and there......then wrote on Greetings Earthlings with a white gel pen.
Here is the link to the Craft Barn
Super duper and so quick too.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun page and original word choice. Mine's much more mundane (oops a bit too much alliteration there).
ReplyDeleteTerrific colours and just what I imagine a Martian would look like. A real fun page
