Ruby Dog Days meets Mission Inspiration!


I have really been enjoying art journaling and have recently discovered Mission Inspiration.  When I saw the colors and theme for this month's page, I turned directly to the new Ruby Dog Days image from Polkadoodles!  

I have combined her with a blush plaid paper, tree die, and butterfly dies from Winnie Special Moments and flowers from Horace and Boo Flower Foliage.  

I started by coloring Ruby with Copics, placing in some eyelets to the bags along with twine for the handles and adhering a gem to her bag.  

I washed over the blush plaid with a pistachio colored gesso and my texture comes from Glass Glitter Beads through an arrow stencil.  I added my paper cuts and focal images and added marks with a sponge to the tree.  My border is simple using yellow around the edges.  

This quote just seemed perfect as I was seeing Ruby walking home through a park from her busy day of errands and includes the "nature" word from the prompt.  I finished with Spun Sugar Splats that are a little difficult to see, but they are there!  ; )


Ruby is off to the following challenges:
Tuesday Throwdown:  Glimmer and Shine
Try It on Tuesday:  Nature's Beauty
Classic DT:  AG
Crafter's Cafe:  World Art Day
Creatalicious Challenge:  AG with Dies
Create and Inspire:  Use dies/stencils
