Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  It's still very hot here, but not quite as bad as last weekend.  I think it's supposed to be only 99 today!  I'm going to be out most of the day, but before I head off, I'm here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz.  Have you joined in on the huge 2,000 Member Party yet?  You have one more day to get your entries in for the challenges.  The party closes at midnight tomorrow.  There are some amazing prizes, so be sure to check it out.  We are back to our regular weekly challenges today.  This week's theme is "vacation destination".  We want to see your project that depicts a fun vacation destination.  It can be any type of vacation you'd like, but there must be some coloring with alcohol markers on your creation.

Here is my card for the challenge:


I picked my favorite vacation destination - the beach! Mind you, you'd never see me on the beach in a bikini! I started with a card base of SU Pear Pizzazz and layered with Soft Sky and patterned paper from the Webster's Pages In Love, Palm Beach & Game On Petite Papers pack.  For my beach scene I merged two images from Mo's Digital Pencil - Beach Elements I and Little Umbrella. You can find them in Mo's store here.  I printed the merged image on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored with my Copics. I used my Copic airbrush for the sand, water and sky.  I added a bit of Stickles and Glossy Accents to the main image.

Here is a close-up of the fun image:


My sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.   A few Wild Orchid Crafts aster daisies and a cherry blossom finished my card.

I am also entering my card in Mo's DP2 Challenge #142 (anything goes), Craft Your Passion #117 (chillin' and grillin') and the Tuesday Throwdown #104 (summertime).

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge and check out all the fabulous vacation projects from the rest of the DT and our wonderful July Guest Designer, Ann Marie!  We hope you'll be inspired to play along!  We've got a new sponsor for our challenges for July!  Megan from Dilly Beans is offering 3 digis from her store to one lucky participant in our July challenges.  Plus there are always fantastic site-wide prizes up for grabs when you enter the challenges at The Outlawz!

Have a great day and hope to see you soon!
