Hello and welcome to the Love Fest challenges! - we have ten fun days of challenges for you hosted by our fabulous Member Companies!
Splitcoast is hosting the first challenge and it's Puppy Love - use a baby animal for your love themed card. It doesn't get any more baby than robin eggs!
My card is also for today's Mix-Ability challenge Clear love - after I finished my little painting, I added Crystal effects to my eggs to they are 3D and shiny.
Hope you can play along with both of these challenges - thanks for looking!
I used a fun gouache resist technique I learned in a Prismacolor demo this week - you can read about the technique and a ham conspiracy in this blog post.

This is a really nice illustration of the robin and her eggs!! I love the blue in the bg as the sky too. The sentiment is so promising and encouraging which we all can use this winter.

I love it! And I especially love the sentiment, Lydia. I'm hopeful *laughing* Wonderful mixed media card. I'm definitely going to check out this technique.

Will check out your link later as I have plenty of gouache!! I love this - it's ended up like a chalkboard with added art, to my eyes. I bet those glossy eggs are so sweet! I haven't even seen any courtship behaviour from our robins yet, it'll be a while before there are eggs.
