Thank you all so much for understanding my delay today!! I finally got off my tuchas and made a PROMPT for you!! lol J is harder to come up with than one would think...
BUT
I did come up with something!!
JUST
just what? Just BE? Just LIVE? Just SAY NO? You tell me. SHOW me. Just DO IT. :P
Techniques If you're interested: I used my beloved Picnik again for this one, and used the PENCIL SKETCH effect. Played with that to get my lines the way I wanted, and then made them even better in the EDIT>EXPOSURE tab. Then, I used my watercolor pencils to color in the paint brush, and painted the top of my paint brush with craft paint. (it's still a little wet in the scan...)

I love your card for this prompt! What a cool technique - love how you added your own paint on the brush!

I just love your Picnik tutorials, the last one saved a pic of my son and his girlfriend (he had an inappropriate t-shirt on and I was able to make his shirt all black and voila, pic was saved and copies were made!) haha Here's my take on this new prompt and I love your card!
