Week Three: Baseball Nut!

"M"
8 x 8 Canvas Flag

It's week three of The Summer of Color 2: Ice Cream Inspirations and our third prompt is to create something inspired by the colors found within the "Flavor," Baseball Nut. . . .

"Baseball Nut" is a new one to most of us - including me - and although I'm unfamiliar with the taste (can you believe I actually gave the ice cream cones away after photographing them - what was I thinking - I should have at least sampled them all first ;) I loved playing with the neutral colors of vanilla and cashew along with that bold pop of raspberry.

Once again, I used canvas material as my base and a mix of Caran D'ache watercolor crayons, acrylics and metallic and gel pens as accents. As a matter of fact, I used the same glittery gel pen here (Sakura Gelly Roll; a new favorite of mine) that I'm offering in this week's giveaway above.

Ready for more? Me too. Oooooh, look! The next color is so pretty . . . .

Ice Cream Kisses,
Kristin xo

I am so enjoying each new pennant of yours, Kristin! I look so forward to them, that I have been thinking about it all on Sunday nights as I am falling asleep, then waking up on Mondays dying to take a peek! I am surprised that I'm not eating ice cream for breakfast. And, you do need to sample all of these, especially the cashew one! Have a great week ans enjoy your summer sun with your little one...hugs, kath

Wow, your flags are just truly amazing week by week. I love your characters, they are simply adorable and you do the color theme well. I think this one is my favorite so far. I look forward in seeing your flags someday in an online shop for others to discover your beautiful work. Would love to buy this pretty one. xx
