Stacy the Stegosaurus

 

Well how did that happen so quickly..... It is the start of a new month and we have a new image to play with for The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge

Our New Blog Home is now up and running and all the challenges from today will be hosted from there. There is a challenge for each day of the week and we have ones that last for a month at a time. Lots of prizes on offer with individual ones for the specific challenges and sitewide ones for each calendar month.

Come on over and join in the fun at The Outlawz

This months at the Progressive Freebie Challenge we have been given this fab image 

Stacy The Stegosaurus from Dr. Digis House of Stamps.

I had planned my card layout out and gathered together the patterned and darker green papers from my scraps. I then selected a nice subtle patterned green background paper. These greens then dictated the overall colour scheme for my image.

I used Promarkers to put down the base layer of colour. I then added some shading using coloured pencils. I find these are a great way to add texture. Finally I added some pebbles in pencil for the dinosaur to walk on.

The sentiment is an old freebie from a blog called Tidbits Trinkets. I have obtained so many free images and sentiments from bloggers in the past and have of course kept them in my collection to use as and when required. When I create with them I go back to the blog so I can link back to them and give the relevant credit. It makes me so sad that there are many of these artists whose blogs have closed down over the years. I do hope some of them have become successful artists and perhaps sell on Etsy or something. It is such a shame for these talented people if they do not create any longer.

The Progressive Freebie challenge is a great opportunity to use images from different artists who you may not have used before. It helps to take you out of your comfort zone and introduce you to different styles and I would highly recommend you take part.
