Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi, there!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I had to run out for an early appointment so I'm off to a bit of a late start, but I'm popping in now to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is everyone's favorite "anything goes", as long as you have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand).  If you've been collecting our calendar pages all year, the template for the November page and the instructions for printing are in the challenge thread.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the fall-themed patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Forever Fall 6x6 pad.  The cute digi image is Crystal from Make it Crafty.  You can find her in the MiC store here.  Crystal comes along when you purchase Zoe's awesome Shading with a Light Source E-Book also in the store.  I printed her on Neenah Solar White (waiting on a new shipment of Make it Colour Blending card) and colored her with my Copics.  Can't wait until my MiC paper arrives, because I had a bit of trouble with my shading on this leftover paper.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A few fall leaves and three Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker challenge and check out the awesome cards and calendar pages from the rest of the DT.  We hope you will play along with us this week!  Our October challenges are being generously sponsored by Make it Crafty.  One lucky, randomly-selected participant in our challenges will win Zoe's amazing Colouring Techniques With Markers E-Book.  It's your last chance to be in the running for this awesome prize!

There are also lots of monthly site-wide prizes when you enter any of the challenges at The Outlawz!

Simon Says Stamp (Autumn Leaves)
Through The Craftroom Door #41 (anything goes)

Elisabeth Bell's World October/November Challenge

Hi again!  I'm back just quickly to share some exciting news and a card!  I won the last challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World and I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the new challenge starting today!  I love Elisabeth's images and I was thrilled to have won two digital stamps from the Elisabeth Bell Designs Digital Collection as well as two Belles 'n Whistles stamps from Crafts and Me!    The theme for the October/November Challenge is "glitter, shimmer and shine".  I am so honored to have my card posted along with the amazingly-talented DT!

Here is my card:

My 5x7 card base and mats are GKD Lipstick Red.  The shimmery and shiny patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Turtle Dove 6.5x6.5 pad.  It was so hard to capture the shiny paper in my photo!  My precious Elisabeth Bell image is Belles 'n Whistles Star of Bethlehem.  You can find it in the Crafts and Me store here.  I stamped it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added Red, Diamond and Gold Stickles to make my image sparkle.  Two stars punched from red glitter paper and a shiny gold corner sticker finished my festive holiday card.

Haunting

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  We're halfway to the weekend - how good is that?  This week is just as crazy as last so far, but I did manage to put together a card for a few challenges.  It is absolutely my last Halloween card for this year!  It is for Kenny K. Krafty Krew #116 (frightful) and Sketch N Stash #99 (sketch).

Autumn Angel

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend and your new week is off to a terrific start!  I have a very busy day ahead of me, but before I head off for that, I'm here to post a card I made for a couple of challenges.  It is for Love To Create #38 (pumpkins, pumpkins), Allsorts #177 (Autumn colors), Paper Crafting Journey (add some bling).  I had planned to enter my card in the Tuesday Morning Sketches #168 too, but I didn't finish it before the deadline. I'm still linking it because I did use the sketch.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Chocolate Chip and the patterned papers are from Imaginisce, called So Grateful.  My adorable image is Autumn Angel from Whimsy And Stars Studio.  You can find her in Mabelle's Etsy shop here.  I was so lucky to have won her during a contest on Mabelle's blog.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some bling to the image with Orange, Crystal and Vintage Photo Stickles.  The top sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I added a bunch of gems from my stash to the sentiment panel.  Some Baker's Twine and a Jolee's leaf sticker finished my card.

Be Yourself

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  I hope you've had a good weekend so far and that you enjoy what's left of it!  It's been a gorgeous fall weekend here!  Before I head out for the day, I wanted to share a card I made for a couple of challenges.  It is for Saturated Canary #28 (color inspiration), Copic Challenge #54 on Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom site (anything goes with a touch of red), and The Squirrel and The Fox #29 (use a ribbon).

Here is the color inspiration for the SC challenge:

Live in Abundance

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  Were you beginning to think I'd given up my blog?  It's been quite a few days since I was able to post.  I've got a lot going on in my world right now and unfortunately, it's keeping me from my craft room and blog land.  I keep hoping to get back in the groove, but it hasn't happened yet.  I did manage to finish up one card on my desk.  It was made for a few challenges I like to do.  It's for the September/October Challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World (earth tones), Addicted-to-Stamps Challenge #40 (sketch), Basic Grey Challenge #78 (ribbon and lace), Love To Create Challenge #36 (Fall fun/Autumn colors) and Crafts and Me Challenge #105 (anything goes).

Here is Nadell's sketch for the A-T-S challenge:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Chocolate Chip and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Pyrus 6x6 pad.  My adorable Elisabeth Bell image is Apple Bake.  It can be found in the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection here. I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her in earth tones with my Copics.  I added a few dots of yellow Stickles to the flower centers on her apron.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.   A few Wild Orchid Crafts roses, some lace trim and a triple-loop wrinkled ribbon bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  I truly appreciate your visits!  I'll be by to visit your blogs whenever I can and I'll be back tomorrow with my Little Miss Muffet DT post for the week!

I'll Be There

Hi again!  I know.  First I don't post for days, then I don't stop posting, right?  I had a few projects in the works and managed to finish one up so I came back to share it.  It is for Mo's DP2 Challenge #155 (anything goes with a Mo's), Anything Goes Challenge #77 (animals), Through The Craftroom Door Challenge #38 (anything goes) and Papertake Weekly #83 (anything goes).

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Six By Six A Mother's Love pad.  You can tell how long this has been on my desk because I was using the sketch from the Anything Goes Challenge #76, which I missed.  Anyway, my adorable Mo's image is Did You Hear.  You can find it in Mo's store here.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored with my Copics.  I added a few polka dots to her top and socks with my Sharpie White Paint Pen.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A polka dot bow and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Bella and Bronte:

Thanks for stopping by again!  I promise this is it for the day!  Enjoy your evening and weekend and I hope to see you again soon!
