Colouring backgrounds

Good morning everyone, it's nearly the weekend and I hope you all have a fabulous one!

I'm here today with a new challenge from the Graph'It Markers Colouring Blog. The new challenge is to colour landscapes or backgrounds. 

When I saw this challenge I must admit I panicked a little bit, well quite a lot actually! While I'm ok at colouring images, creating backgrounds I can't do! Anyway I had a go and this is what I came up with.

The image is a Tatty Twinkle stamp and the papers are from the Work & Play Collection CD 2. The die cuts are from Tattered Lace.

To create the background, after colouring the sky I used the blender to take out some of the colour in the shape of clouds.

The colours I used are:

Skin: 4125, 4150, 4135, 4145, 3120, 3210

Hair: 3210, 3245, 3250, 3255

Clothes: 8130, 8140, 8150, 8160

Sky: 7105

Grass: 8110, 8120, 8130, 8240, 8270
