Sketch Saturday #350

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It's still pretty cold here, but the sun is shining and that makes for a nice start to the day.  I am here with my DT card for this week's Sketch Saturday challenge.  The sponsor this week is our own Saturday Girl, Niki, who has a special prize for the winner.

Here is this week's sketch, designed by Vannessa:

 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Jubilee "Sherbet" 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Love is in the Air by Katerina Koukiotis, available at Sweet Pea Stamps.  It is the image we were to use for Part 2 of the Progressive Challenge in the Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans FB group.  I colored it with my Copics, of course.  The sentiment is from an old Gina K. Designs set and is stamped.

Make it Colourful Challenge #18

Hi again!  I am back with a second post today.  If you are looking for my DoveArt Blog Hop post, please click here or scroll down one post. I am back now with my DT post for the new Make it Colourful Challenge.  The challenge for this month is "color on Kraft with pink".  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must color on Kraft paper.  If you haven't done this before, it's a great chance to try something new!  I had only tried coloring on Kraft once before, so it was something different for me, too.  As always, the fabulous Make it Crafty DT has plenty of amazing inspiration for you on the Make it Colourful blog.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Primrose Petals and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Uncommon 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Penny In Love, one of the newly-released Love Collection from Make it Crafty.  I colored her on Kraft with Prismacolor Pencils.  I definitely need more practice with this technique, but trying something new is what these challenges are all about!  The chipboard sentiment is from the Doodle Love Words Chipboard set, also new from Make it Crafty.  A simple bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Make it Colourful Challenge blog and check out the outstanding creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you will join in on the challenge.  There is a special album set up in the Make it Crafty store photo gallery just for challenge entries.  Can't wait to see what you create!
