Kristin at The Summer of Color: Week Three prompted us to create art using the colors of the flavor Strawberry Lemonade punch ! Now I thought of going to Baskin Robbins to check out this lip smacking flavor ...and to my utter dismay this was one of the official flavors of the month :)
I came home with their brochure and also some tissue papers....yes I surely had some plans in my mind :)
I wanted to use their brochure as my background :)
Next I layered the brochure with the 'BR' tissue paper and was happy with the textures that came up just so naturally ! I purposely left the middle section of the brochure which spoke about our flavor of the week...Strawberry Lemonade !
Then I used some newspaper and a music sheet to make my little birdie and the tree and the leaves...and also drew a few details down there with my black pen .
Coloring it all lemon yellow and strawberry pink was the most fun part and I enjoyed it thoroughly :)
I also liked the other colors of the brochure that were still peeking through the tissue layer as if trying not to miss out on the fun :)
Don't you think my lemony birdie, with a big musical strawberry heart , is singing out loud ...all praises about the flavor of the month !
Enjoy!
Rita this is beautiful work and a gorgeous combination. Love it. it's great.
