August Classic Design Challenge : Fred She Said Designs & Sheepski Designs

 Good morning and welcome back to another fun monthly Classic Challenge! This month we have a fun surprise, because we're featuring TWO digital artists, and as always, our theme is : Anything Goes.

This month, we're featuring samples from both Fred She Said Digital Designs and Sheepski Digital Designs.

I chose to feature Emma in the Strawberry Patch from Fred She Said Designs, and Beach Hut Holiday from Sheepski Designs. Both are equally well drawn, and so fun and easy to color in. Sometimes you just want an image that's easy to color in that makes a big impact, and these two do it for me.

First one up is Emma in the Strawberry Patch, from Fred She Said.

I decidedly chose to keep her simple and followed the same coloring format too, by coloring her with less drama, trying to keep it soft and fresh. The first attempt I made at coloring it in resulted in too much color and drama, and felt it detracted from the cute and over all innocence the image is portraying. So everything was kept light after that.

Next is Beach Hut Holiday by Sheepski.

Isn't this a great image of a beach and boat houses all in a row? I grew up in Northern Minnesota, so I've always loved a lake front beach, and this scene is the best! I can just see myself enjoying a good book, with a tall iced tea, and a popsicle, after I wade in the water looking for neat rocks.
I kept this card clean and simple just to keep the focus on the image. The sentiment is from an old MFT travel stamp set, and the stitched diecut rectangle cutting out the main scene is the only adornment I gave it. 

I am also entering my card in the following challenges :

1. Anything Goes - Word Art Wednesday
2. Water - Addicted to CAS
3. Water - Just Us Girls
4. Summertime Blues - Simon Says Stamp
5. Anything Goes - A Cut Above

I hope you head on over to Fred She Said Designs and Sheepski Designs to check out their images for sale and see what else you may like. And thank you for joining us again this month in our Classic Challenge, as we feature different digital image creators each month to help inspire you in our Anything Goes, monthly challenge. We love and appreciate all your submissions and look forward to seeing the gallery, showing us how you were inspired each month! See you next month!

  5. Amanda, both of your cards are lovely! I especially love the one you linked up with us at Word Art Wednesday. That beach scene is so realistic looking. I love the bright houses, and the way you colored the water and the sand is really great. I'm glad that making this brought back such beautiful memories. My daughter lived in Wisconsin for just two years and visited Lake Superior several times because she loved it so much up there! Thanks so much for playing along with us!
