Illustration Friday: Clique (and my finished illustration!)

I know I’m kinda cheating by using the same illustration concept for two weeks of Illustration Friday but this week’s theme works so well for this! “The unlikely friends formed a clique that could never be broken!”

What do you think of the final version? I haven’t done many pieces with full colour backgrounds so it’s a bit different. I’ve also consciously not used any red in the image. I find red is such a powerful colour and I usually always use it in my work to really make my illustrations pop! I think when I hold back from using red, there is a softer and calmer feeling that I also really like. Click here to rate this illustration!

    I really love this stamp. It is just darling. I too wish I could own all of your stamps. Or have copied prints framed on every wall in my house.
    Your work is the greatest! Thanks for sharing with us.

    Hi Rachelle! Just wanted to pop-in after a long absence (internet probs). All of your lastest illustrations are adorable. The pics of you & the little one are too sweet. I know you’re busy but I recently did a 12×12 scrapbook LO featuring my new nephew. It’s @ my blog if you get the time.
