Feeling Grey?? xx

Good morning all

Hope this finds you all well?? I'm just plodding along getting my work done and trying find time to fit in me time?? Where does the hours go?

I'm back to share my third GDT for Crafts and Me and this time I got to use the Robin Pushay Friends image! Truthfully I wasn't that looking forward to using this image, its not something I would ever pick. So with that in mind I tired a few attempts with nothing great to show, then I was staring at my pens and thought GREY!! I then got all the different grey tones out and had a play


What do you think?? I used a whole range of Grey Spectrum Noirs in different tones, a touch of yellow to highlight the moon. I then masked over the image and using Black Soot Distress Ink blended in the background before added some Sparkle Pen to make the moon pop. It was a bit of luck that it turned out as it did and I'm rather impressed with myself hehehe
