Sail Away

This one is right out of the Magnolia Ink magazine and I as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make one.  There was a lot of coloring in this.  I have listed all of the colors that I used for each panel of the book, for the cover of the book and for the image on the suitcase itself.

I am entering this one at The Official Magnolia Inspirational Challenge at http://officialmagnoliainspirationchallenge.blogspot.com/.  The theme this week is "Nautical"! 



For the suitcase lid I used the following colors on the Magnolia Sea Background.  Sorry it looks like it is overexposed!

I then painted the waves in the foreground with Illuminate Smooch and sprayed the whole thing with Tattered Angels Vanilla Mist.
