Celebrate Life with TK

I made this project for the CHF masculine challenge, and used SC185 from SCS for the layout.

I added texture to the green strip using the scoring blade on my paper cutter. The main image panel has glitter on the lighter parts of the water (which I think saw on some other TK images, either in SCS or CHF galleries) and is popped up with medium Zots to give it some dimension.

Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light

Thomas Kinkade, Master of Light, is one of my favorite artists. I love all of his paintings, from the cottages and gardens to the lighthouses; they're all masterpieces to me.

This particular image is called Light of Peace, and it's just breathtaking!

To my delight, Cornish Heritage Farms sells high-quality TK rubber stamps. They're truly beautiful images. I've used them a couple of times for monotone cards, but this was my first attempt at coloring a TK image. This literally took me hours to complete, but I'm hoping that next time it will go a little quicker. I used my Kohinoor woodless pencils (12-color set) with baby oil and a blending stump to color the image. I'm looking forward to experimenting with different inks and paper.
