Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and there's something fun on your agenda for the weekend!  It's been a busy week and I'm looking forward to a nice break.  We've got a couple of fun events to attend, so looking forward to this evening and beyond.  I am here, on the right day even, with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "anything goes" with the option to add a Christmas twist.  The twist entirely optional, but you must still have a hand-colored image somewhere on your card to enter.  Easy peasy.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Bravo Burgundy and the patterned papers are from an older Webster's Pages collection.  The beautiful image is Sapphire by Norma J. Burnell.  It is available from Norma's Fairy Tangles Art Etsy shop.  I colored it with my Copics then added some Liquid Pearls accents here and there.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A pretty silk flower and a little white flower spray finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Basic Black and the pretty holiday patterned paper is from the Simple Stories DIY Christmas 6x6 pad.  The fun image is Christmas Quartet by Regan Kubecek from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored it all with my Copics.  I added a bit of Red and Gold Stickles to the stars and ornaments on the tree.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I didn't add any other embellishments.  I wanted to let the scene take center stage and I also wanted to keep this flat for easy mailing when the time comes.

Friday Coloring Challenge - On Monday

Good morning!  Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend and your week is off to a great start!  It continues to be super hot and humid here with lots of storms popping up.  I am looking forward to a little break in this weather, but it might be awhile yet since this week is still supposed to be very hot.  I am here with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  It's not lost on me that this is now Monday and I am late with my post! I had limited internet access over the past few days, so I gave up and took a forced break from the computer.  Luckily I could still check my e-mail on my phone, but that's all I did.  The theme for this week's challenge is a color inspiration.  You don't have to have an exact match to the colors, but we would like to be able to recognize the overall color palette.  You must still have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter.

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I need to try and catch up after a very busy week.  I am here this morning with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "chocolate" in honor of National Chocolate Day.  Anything chocolate will do, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Dark Brown and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection.  The yummy tray of chocolates was created by merging lots of images from the Tea Party Food Combo and Tea Party Trays Combo from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  Both of these digi sets are retired now, but I just had to use them anyway for today's challenge!  I colored everything with my Copics and drizzled on a little "icing" with my Ice White and Rose Pearl Pens.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.
