The life of leisure! (I wish I had one)

Well folks…gotta keep it short and sweet today because I’m heading off to the wilderness! Okay, not quite, but I am going to a cottage this weekend with my chick-mates from work. Wine is packed, NEW canon camera is packed, and I am even gonna tote alone my markers to get some colorin’ in if time permits. Don’t know how much time there will be though because we are heading out for a fantastic meal tonight. Then tomorrow we will spend the afternoon at the Shores of Erie Winefest…wine tasting, food tasting, jazz, cooking demos…sounds like a pretty decent weekend now that I say it!



I changed up the sketch ONLY slightly this week and replaced the oval with a circle because it better suited my image. Isn’t she a stunner! I have a friend who thinks that cruising is her destiny so I thought the enjoy life sentiment was a good match. I stamped Captain Stella in her Dingy with memento ink on Bella's Bestest Paper and coloured her up with the following copic markers (water and sky was done with prisma pencils and gamsol):

E0000, 000, 00, 11
Y11, 15, YR21, 23, 24
E13, 35, 53
G20, YG23, 25
R20, 22, 29, 24
B02, 05
BV00, V12, 15, 17

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
