For my blue bg I used a light blue paper, placed a stencil on top, and sprinkled with brushos in blue shades. I then wiped the colors in with a baby wipe. The white/gray layering piece behind the dog was made by tracing around a stenciled design and then outlining each portion with a gray copic marker. The dog was colored with Prismacolors and gamsol. The snarky saying is a Tim Holtz sticker. Come join in the MIX this week and have some fun with watercolors and stencils.

Wow Pol this looks amazing. I would never have thought to just use a baby wipe and no water - I love learning new things (now I just have to remember LOL). Your dog is super!!!

I love that fun sentiment Polly! Great challenge and your card and pup are just adorable! That gray panel you did with your stencil is amazing! What a great idea! Going to have to steal it!

Love the dog and the glasses - great match up for the sentiment! You did a great job coloring the dog. I just a while back started coloring with pencils and gamsol! I love the nice smooth blend of colors you can achieve with this combination!
