I am one of 4 siblings are they are 15 years between the youngest and myself, the middle 2 are boys and there is quite a big gap of 7 years between the older 2 and younger 2. When we were younger I remember going on holiday and there was a pond just like this one. The oldest of the younger 2 was ahead of us and turned around and started to run screaming, been chased by the mother duck. The little monkey had only stolen one of her chicks he had it in his coat. Will never forget my mothers face!!
Anyway onto todays scene, as these are cute cheeky couple or siblings and the lad is looking cheeky and he knows he is about to shove the sister in? I will leave you with that thought.....

Oh wow. Thank you
DeleteWhat brand/type of white cardstock do you use? I am thinking maybe the cardstock I use sucks up the pigment too quickly and that is why I have such a difficult time with blending marker colors.
ReplyDeleteI use Polkadoodles Ultimate and always put a sheet of copier paper underneath to draw through any excess pigment. Not sure if you will get the Polkadoodles Ultimate accross the pond. But have had good results with the crafters companion alcohol friendly card stock as well but I can not remember the name
