Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and you have some fun plans for the weekend! I've got nothing really special planned, but it is supposed to be a beautiful weekend, so I hope to get out and enjoy it!  I am here now to share my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is Cinco de Mayo, Mexican food/culture or the colors of the flag of Mexico."  Lots of possibilities!  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image on your project to enter.

Here is my card:

 

I went with the colors of the Mexican flag for my card.  The card base and mats are SU Basic Black and the patterned papers are from the Graphic 45 The Magic of Oz collection.  The beautiful image is Red Poppy Fairy by Meredith Dillman, available from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Sharon at her A Piece of Heart blog. It was a Friday freebie many moons ago and I thought it went well with the image.  I didn't add any other embellishments so that the image could take center stage.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope your week is going well so far!  I am late with my DT post for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I had to get a new computer and everything on it is different and I haven't managed to get some things working yet.  It will take some time, but in the end I know it will be fine.  Anyway, we have a new challenge starting today.  The theme is "anything goes", so it doesn't get any easier than that!  There are still a few days left for our 4th birthday celebration, so if you haven't entered the birthday challenge or the linking train challenge, you still have until March 15 to get in on the fun.

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!

Sketch Saturday #341

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It is pouring down rain here and it's supposed to be like this all weekend.  It's guess it's another weekend for indoor activities. Before getting on with my day, I am here with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  We are sponsored by Bunny Zoe's Crafts and the prize is a £10 gift certificate for the Bunny Zoe's Crafts shop.

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

And here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Gumball Green and the patterned papers are from the Recollections Bright Christmas 6x6 pad.  I created the fun Winter scene by merging two digis from Make it Crafty: Jasmine Hot Chocolate and Winter Seat.  I printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I airbrushed the sky with Copic B12.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I didn't add any more embellishments so the scene was the main focus.

Here is a close-up of the scene:
