Good Afternoon and Happy New Year.
Welcome to 2025 and once again, I am running way late getting my card for The Outlawz January 2025 Sketch Challenge!
2024 has been crazy for me – so many life changes. Adjusting to life as a non-married person. Selling my home of 23 years and relocating to an unfamiliar area and having to learn where everything is and all the stuff that goes along with that. Interviewing and accepting a new job after being retired for 6 years.
I am staying blissfully positive that 2025 will be an amazing year for me and I hope it is for you as well!
This month we are asking you to use a circle with a twist of cute.
The image I chose is not necessarily “cute”, but I thought the design paper would help with that as I love the colorful polka dots. Kinda of reminded me of Christmas lights! My favorite color! LOL
I colored with image with some new alcohol markers I bought at a pretty good price at a discount department store. They are from the Creative Expert, 128 markers which also came in a nice carry case. I did have to use a couple of Copic colors as well since they were colors not in the CW set.
They aren’t bad. The fine tips are not so fine so it was a bit difficult to work in some of the smaller areas of the image, but I made it work.
