Have a little Siesta with The East Wind

Having some serious fun with The East Wind digital images, and how could you not have fun with them?  They are so original.  I struggled for a sentiment for this one tho, lol.  She is called Siesta and she just looks so comfortable and relaxed, lol.  And you know, if an animal is comfortable enough to fall asleep with you, that you are the best in their eyes and that's what counts!

I also followed the same sketch maps from Pagemaps.com to complete this card, and you can find it here :)
This is the second of my challenge to myself and I am really enjoying this.  Not only does it help you to make the cards if you struggle with placement, but it also teaches you when to stop adding embellishments, lol.

If you are looking for something new and original to color and create with, stop by The East Wind Etsy shop to see all of Unky's beautiful images :)

Some serious WOW from The East Wind

OK, so this new image from The East Wind has some serious WOW factor to it....are you ready?

Introducing The East Wind's Hair Heaven Rose Garden!

OK, really, what can I say about this image that you haven't already figured out?  It's GAH-OR-GOUSSSS!!!!!

This was such a stunning image in black and white, lol, I couldn't help but color her in black and white.  Well, alright, I actually only colored her in white, lol...on black cardstock.

I only used one colored pencil for this image, and yes, it was a Prismacolor Premiere, white PC938.  And I say was...because I used up a whole white pencil on this piece.  But it was so worth it :)  I will definitely do her again soon, this time in color and I already have her printed out on kraft and white card stock.

If you would like to purchase this digital image you can find her on The East Wind website as well as in the Etsy shop!  Don't forget to find TEW on Facebook and Instagram!
