VIDEO: Reflected Angel + Shadows & Reflections Master Class

I've been playing a really fun new phone game. I'm not good at sitting still and watching TV, or waiting for my allergy shot, etc. - so if I can't craft, I do puzzles or games. Logic puzzles are my favorite, but those aren't good on a phone, so I have to do those in magazine format with a pen.

My friend Bev told me about Apple Arcade, which I was clueless about and I love it. You pay a small fee, but then all the games in there are ad-free - and if you've played any phone games, you know how annoying the ads are. Some games I will immediately delete based on the ads. Some games - like June's Journey - do ads really well - you don't have to watch ads, but if you do you get in-game incentives. 

Anyway, Arcade is ad-free and the games are super high quality and interesting. The first one that Bev told me about was Squiggle Drop, which is AWESOME and pretty hard. 

Then I read about one online and tried it and oh my GOSH is it awesome. It's called Mini Motorways. The graphic feel reminds me of Monument Valley which is a beautiful game from years ago. The idea is to move cars from their houses to buildings - matched by color. You can use bridges, freeways or roads you draw with your finger. However, you can also create traffic jams, so you can add stoplights or roundabouts. There's a timer element too - and when the timer runs out on a building, the game ends. It's a fun, engineering style game that's a real challenge! Even though each city eventually fails, it's not frustrating at all - it's relaxing and fun, and I've learned a TON in the week or so I've been playing. There's some stuff on Reddit about it, but people don't seem to be super active on there. 

Anyway, for today's card, I turned this beautiful angel into a statue by the water with a fun trick that I totally screwed up! You'll see in the video - don't be like me! I used the grip mat for the reflection - such a fun different way to use it. I used these colored pencils and this sentiment set. The inks are just blue and violet.
