This was the first time I've done a monochromatic card. When I saw that Mo's Digital Pencil's Challenge this week was to make a monochromatic card I almost said forget about entering this week. I was very intimidated to try. I figured I'd try anyway and if I hated it, I just wouldn't enter. I ended up really pleased with the results. I won't be afraid of doing this type of challenge again. I chose the Captain Hugh image and it's coordinating background. I kind of wish I had done the treasure chest also, but I figured I had already used enough brown. I colored this with copics. I had some really neat nautical paper in my stash that was ideal. When I colored the parrot and the lens of the telescope they looked kind of bright against the rest of the card. I took one of my lightest brown shades and colored over them It dulled them down quite a bit.
a really neat feature in my Photo Impact Pro that I didn't know was there.
it is a feature called "lighting". It looks to me like it's shining a light on just specific areas of my card. I love it! I will be using that feature again. I just hope I can remember where I found it.
Copics: B000, B00, B14, E000, E00, E02, E04, E08, E09, E11, E13, E29, E31, E33, E34, E35, E37, E49, E50, E51, E57, E97, E99, G21, G24, G28, R05, Y08, Y11, YR04, YR12
