This is for Robin's fun Free for All challenge......Merry December.
This is just one Digi image, resized and some are flipped. Because it is a png image and not a jpeg, I was able to overlap them and group them closely together.
I printed the girls onto smooth white cardstock, the girls in the front row have their original legs, at this stage the big girls are legless.
I coloured the girls with Prismacolour pencils and zest-it pencil blend and then I used a grey Copic marker to colour the background. Next step was to stencil on the brick wall using walnut stain distress ink on a foam blending tool and a dauber.
The trick with stencilling around an image or group of images is to apply different intensity of ink in the open areas. That way you don't seem to notice there is not as much stencilled pattern close to the images. I prefer a rectangular foam blending tool as you can get just a tiny bit of ink by tilting the tool and using one corner of the foam. I use a dauber to randomly add more intense colour to balance it out.
The hair was done next using a black Copic and a black Sharpie pen. I drew some legs on the big girls and used a white paint pen on all the legs to cover up the grey background and brick wall stencil.
I finished off using liquid pearls, then stamped a sentiment (using my wonderful MISTI) and a doodled border. Thank you for looking, I hope you get a chance to join in.

When I read the stories behind how your creations come together I get the idea you think they are so "easy" but, chickie, this is amazing. just amazing. the eyes are so quirky, I love that you reversed them. and layered them and gave them the wall and legs and just WOW
