I did a watercolor wash on the background and sprinkled it with salt, then dried it with my heat tool. I don't think the salt really worked how I thought it would but it did bring out a green undertone in the Coastal Cabana ink.
I'm entering this at Inkspirational:
And I used this week's Freshly Made Sketch:
And this week's Color Throwdown:
I used Blueberry Bushel, Coastal Cabana, and Smoky Slate for my colors. I feel like I could have done a much better job with this color combination (and the sketch) if I'd taken longer than 20 seconds to think about it. Oh well.
Have a great weekend y'all!
