HMSC4 & HMCC1...sort of

Sand-dollarHeather posted a double challenge for the H&M DT for the weekend and I just now got a chance to get to it thanks to the whirlwind of birthdays!

I stuck to the sketch, but the color challenge was Real Red, Only Orange, Yoyo Yellow, and So Saffron...not quite what I ended up with, but  hey,  a challenge is a starting point for inspiration, right?  I ended up keeping the Real Red, but I pulled out the brand-spankin' new Tangerine Tango...what a gorgeous color!  I also used Summer Sun, Basic Black, and a touch of Green in the marker color.

After I colored in all the starfish I removed a lot of the color with the Copic blender pen so it wasn't quite so bold.  You really needed some shades at first for this baby ;)  The jumbo starfish is from the H&M set Sea Life, and the mini starfish are from the new H&M set Fun in the Sun...they are a perfect match together!!

Thats it for now...I am posting from my moms house and I can't think much less type straight!  Have a great night and thanks for stopping by!  -Cyndi
