Mojo Monday with Flying Unicorn

Hi all! Hope you will join us this week and play along with our Mojo Monday sketch by Alda and Inspo LO by me! Lots of blues in the sketch couldn't resist to play with them!

I decided to give a vintage/mixed media twist to the sketch. Using pops of gold to warm the sketch up a bit. My tip on choosing a color to go along with your pattern paper is use the area behind the photo to sample your chosen colors to see if they will work together. Here is my example photo..

My goal was to match up the colors in the paper itself already. Sometimes matching up can be tricky. by using the area that won't be seen anyway, you are sure to get a perfect match and not be stuck with a dilemma of a wrong color choice. The photo is actually of my mom when she was really young. This photo had just recently turned up. It was badly damage and I had to edited it quite a bit. But got it good as new! A treasure to last for many years to come!  Here are some close ups of my LO.
