Twisted Thursday Challenge-Purple and Orange

Here is my entry for this week's Twisted Thursday Challenge on the Shirley's 2 Girls challenge blog. The twist to the sketch provided was to use the colors purple and orange. Sketch challenges are my favorite challenges to play along with and the twists are a fun addition. I don't have any of the S2G Halloween images (yet!) so I pulled out this set that I got from Michael's last week. I stamped my image with Memento ink and then colored my monster with Copic markers. I used scalloped oval Nestabilities for my large oval and CTMH ink for the sentiment. The paper and card stocks are from DCWV and the brads are from the Paper Studio. I tried again to make my monster look like he had some fur and tried to create some texture with my Copics. I think this attempt turned out a little better than the last one.

Samantha is here today and wanted to play along with the challenge too. She enjoys doing challenges with me on occasion, but this is the first sketch challenge she has attempted. She picked out the papers she wanted and I cut out the pieces for her. She used an  image from the same set as mine, and the image was also stamped with Memento ink and she colored the image with Copic markers. I have been trying to teach her some basic blending techniques with the Copics. She is learning to chose different shades in the same color families so as soon as she started to color she went and picked out three different shades of orange. In person you can see the beginnings of some shading going on there, not too bad for a seven year old! To finish off her card she added some spider confetti to each corner. Thanks for looking!
