Blue Skies Ahead

There She Goes is having a color challenge this week - to use blue, yellow, and neutral. It's one of my favorite combos, so I had to make time to play along! I automatically thought of the Under the Weather set for these colors, and when I saw the current Freshly Made Sketch, I knew exactly what I wanted to do! I picked out the perfect piece of patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Moments 6x6 pad, and used it to paper-piece her rain coat. The rest of her was colored with Copics to match. After coloring her, I masked her so I could sponge the blue sky around her... I should have done it before paper-piecing the coat, because I couldn't get my mask to line up quite right. Oh well... I guess it's close enough!
