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:

Make it Crafty In Bloom Blog Hop

Hi again!  I am back as promised with a very special post!  Today, the Make it Crafty Design Team and some special guests are having a blog hop to share a new release of beautifully illustrated flower stamps from Make it Crafty! They are intricate and delicate, with lots of detail.  They are perfect for coloring and will be your new go-to sets for so many occasions!  These gorgeous flowers images are available in both digital and rubber.  Each rubber stamp version also comes with hand-written sentiments.  Of course, the sentiments all work well with any of the flowers!  Awesome, right? 

The release of these beautiful flowers also coincides with the start of the January Make it Colourful Challenge.  The challenge this month is to achieve a watercolor effect.  You can do this by actually watercoloring or by getting the same effect using your markers.  As always, there are lots of resources and plenty of inspiration on the Make it Colourful blog.

Let's get on to the hop, shall we? You should have arrived here from Nicoletta's amazing blog.  If not, you'll definitely want to start back at Andrea's blog and hop from there so you don't miss a single, gorgeous creation! 

Here is my project for the hop:

I have used the beautiful Birthday Daisies rubber stamp set.  I actually watercolored them using Distress Inks and an Aqua Brush.  It certainly was a challenge for me!  I am used to being able to blend and layer the colors with my Copics and this is a little trickier and requires more patience, for sure!  I stamped the sentiments that came with this set.  I kept the rest of the design of my card very simple so the flowers could take center stage.

Here is a close-up of the colored flowers:

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Your next stop on the hop is the amazingly-talented, Delphine!  Be sure to leave comments at every stop along the way as there are hidden prizes on some of the blogs.  Don't miss out on the chance to win one of these gorgeous stamp sets!

Make it Colourful Challenge #16

Good morning!  Happy Monday and 1st day of December!  Did I really just type that! Time is just zipping by!  Since it's the first of the month, it's time for a new Make it Colourful Challenge.  The challenge for December is "glistening snow and/or ice".  The goal is to achieve the look of sparkling snow and ice using only coloring techniques.  No cheating allowed with glitter pens or the like!  It's definitely a challenge!  As always, there are some fantastic inspiration photos on the blog, as well as amazing projects from the DT to get your creative juices flowing.  Our wonderful guest, Sandy, has also created a video on how she achieved the glistening effect, so be sure to check it all out.

Here is my attempt at glistening snow and ice:

My card base and mats are GKD Aqua Sea and the miscellaneous solid patterned papers are from my stash.  The fun Winter image was created by merging the Icy Lake Pre-made Scene and Brooke Ice Skating, both from Make it Crafty.  I printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it all with my Copics.  I tried to make the ice and snow look shimmery with the colors I chose.  I'm not sure I was successful, but hopefully the snow and ice at least have some added dimension. I used my Copic airbrush to do the sky and tried to make it look like rays of light were coming through.  I finished off the card with two die cut snowflake corners (using a Memory Box die) and a few punched snowflakes with gems in the centers. 

Here is a close-up of the colored scene:

Copic Colors:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair: E50, E53, E57, YR 31

Leggings: BV00, BV,04, BV13, BV17

Sweater, hat and leg warmers: BG10, BG11, BG45, BG53, BG57

Wood: E31, E35, E57, E79

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Make it Colourful Challenge blog and check out the fabulous inspiration for the new challenge!  We hope you will play along!  There is a new album set up in the Make it Crafty store photo gallery for your entries.

November Make it Colourful Challenge

Good morning!  Happy (early) Saturday and 1st of November!  Hope you had fun last night if you were celebrating Halloween and hope your weekend is off to a great start!  I'm not up yet, but I am hoping for a nice, quiet weekend once I am up.  Right now, I am here because it's time for the new Make it Colourful Challenge.  We've got a fun one for you this month!  The challenge is to color any Make it Crafty Christmas image in 15 minutes or less.  Sounds too easy?  Wait until you try it!  And no cheating!  The DT all set timers and recorded our times.  Some of the more technically-savvy DTs (not me!) even did videos of their speed coloring!  There is lots of inspiration on the Make it Colourful Challenge blog.  So go pick yourself a fun MiC Christmas image, start your stopwatches and color away!

Here is my card, made with the image I colored in less than 15 minutes (14.5 to be exact):

My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the Teresa Collins Santa's List 6x6 pad.  The fun image is Jolly Santa from Make it Crafty.  I colored him super quickly with my Copics.  I picked this cool dude because the line image already has lots of shading to follow.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A triple-loop seam binding bow and a holiday sparkler finished my quick and easy card to go along with the quick coloring!

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Make it Colourful Challenge and check out the fab projects from the rest of the DT!  You won't believe they've all been colored in less than 15 minutes, but they truly have been.  We hope you will play along this month!

Have a great day and see you soon!

Make it Colourful Challenge #14

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday and 1st of October! Hope you are having a good week so far! I haven't had much time for crafting yet, but hope to remedy that situation a little later today.  Right now, I am here with my DT post for the new Make it Colourful Challenge.  As you know, we have only one challenge a month now and it will always be something to get you creating outside of your normal boundaries.  No more easy peasy challenges!  The challenge for this month is to color only with ball point pens (or another medium you are completely unfamiliar with)!  Crazy, right?  I know that's what I thought when I first saw the challenge! As always, there are some great resources on the Make it Colourful blog and lots of amazing inspiration from the DT to get you started, so go ahead and give it a go!

Here is my project.  Now, mine is definitely not so amazing!  In fact, I really struggled with this one for a few reasons.  First, it's just hard!  Second, I only had a few colors of pens to work with, yet I picked an image that would have required a few more, for sure. I'll know for next time. Lastly, I don't think I used the right paper to get a good blending effect.  All that said, it was fun and challenging and in the end, I was happy that I at least gave it a try!

The image I chose is Tropical Waterfall from Make it Crafty.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it entirely with ball point pens.  I used a pack of Staedtler pens that I got at Staples, but you can use any brand and you don't need a lot of colors, depending on the image you select.  I used the cross-hatch method for the coloring.  There are links to some great videos on the technique on the blog.  Be prepared to wipe the nib of your pen frequently to get clean lines.   I could have done that a little more, I think. 

Anyway, there you have it!  My first attempt at coloring with ball point pens!  Be sure to go check out what the rest of the amazingly-talented MiC DT did.  You are sure to be inspired!  We hope you will join in on the challenge!  There will be a special album set up for your entries in the Make it Crafty store photo gallery.

Have a great day and see you soon!

Make it Colourful Challenge #13

Good morning (afternoon in Australia)!  Happy Monday!  Hope you've had a great weekend so far.  If you are in the U.S. like I am, I hope you are enjoying a long Labor Day weekend!  We've been very busy and I haven't had much time for my crafting and blogging, but I will be back on track on Tuesday, for sure.  Right now, I am here with my DT post for the new Make it Colourful Challenge.  Just like last month, and from now on, there is just one hard challenge each month and our wonderful Zoe is really challenging us all to step outside our comfort zone and try new things!  This month's challenge theme is "two-tone monochromatic with an abstract background".  There are some fantastic examples over on the Make it Colourful blog, so be sure to check them out and then have a go at it yourself!

Here is my take on the challenge:

My card base and mats are SU Not Quite Navy and the patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Oxford collection.  The image is Anastasia from Make it Crafty.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored in two color families with my Copics.  It was a little scary doing the skin in these tones! The abstract background was created by dabbing on some of the colors using Copic refills on a cotton ball, then dripping a little Colorless Blender onto the background to make it more diffuse.  I could definitely use some practice, but I didn't think it was too bad for a first try.  I kept the rest of the card design very simple, just adding some two-tone ribbon in the same colors and a few pearls from my stash.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Copics colors:

Blues: B000, B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

Greens: YG000, YG01, YG03, YG17, YG25, YG67, G99

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Make it Colourful Challenge blog and check out the fabulous inspiration for the challenge.  There will be a special album set up in the store photo gallery for your entries.  You can also share your progress in the Make it Crafty Facebook group.  There is always lots of fun and encouragement over there, so hope you will come on by!

Have a great day and see you soon!

Make it Colourful Challenge #12 - Atmospheric Perspective

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  It's been another busy week for me, but I am hoping for some extra time over the weekend.  It is supposed to rain here, so that is a good excuse for staying in and heading to my craft room.  Let's hope it works out that way!  Anyway, I am here with something very cool today!  First, I am excited to tell you that the lovely Zoe invited me to be part of the Make it Crafty Inspiration DT!  I am so excited and honored and scared witless, all at the same time!  These ladies have some seriously amazing coloring skills! I hope to learn a lot from them.  Just seeing their projects is so inspiring! 

On to my post. The new Make it Colourful Challenge started today and there is something different starting this month.  No more "easy challenge".  Nope.  As Zoe says, you've got to put on your big girl panties and go for the hard challenge!   It may seem scary at first, but there are lots of resources for the challenge provided on the blog and also lots of inspiration from the team. We sure hope you will give it a go!

This month's challenge is "atmospheric perspective".  I won't go into the details of what that means because there are several great videos and examples on the blog, but briefly, atmospheric perspective refers to the hazy look of objects that are off in the distance.  Far away objects tend to fade, lose their detail and become "cooler" in color. This is the effect we were going for.  Definitely not an easy task, I can tell you!

Here is my project:

 

I started with the Hidden Forest Digi Stamp from Make it Crafty for my scene.  I lightened the lines in the far background using the technique Zoe shared in the Make it Crafty FB group.  I wanted those trees to appear hazy and far in the distance compared to the warmer colors and finer details in the foreground. Everything was colored with my Copics. I then colored up Miss Hood, also from Make it Crafty, in vibrant colors and popped her right in front in the scene.

I hope I at least came close to achieving the effect. It was definitely a big challenge for me! Head on over and check out the fabulous projects from the rest of the team! We hope you'll join in on the August Make it Colourful challenge! You have a whole month to enter and all the details are on the blog.   We can't wait to see your atmospheric perspective projects!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Alice and White Rabbit

Hi again!  I'm back with a second post today to share something really fun with you!  I have a Make it Crafty inspiration project that I hope you will enjoy.  It is inspiration for a couple of different things.  First, it is for the Make it Colourful Colouring Challenge #11. The easy part of the challenge is to color blonde hair and the hard challenge is to color folds and creases.  I decided to take on both.  In addition, this is inspiration for Zoe's fabulous new eBook called Techniques Behind My Creases and Folds.  This is a fantastic guide to understanding how to color folds and pleats and creases.  It's super easy to follow and comes with awesome examples and exercises.  If you haven't done so already, you will definitely want to get this incredible resource for yourself!

Anyway, on to my card:

 

My card base and mats are GKD Blue Denim and the patterned papers are from the Little Yellow Bicycle Feels Like Home 6x6 pad.  Too bad I covered up the layer with all the cute teacups!  The fun image is Alice and White Rabbit from Make it Crafty.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I gave her a dirty blonde hair color and I worked really hard on the folds and creases!  Believe me, there are a lot of them on this image!  Obviously, I still need a lot of practice, but I am studying Zoe's tutorial more and next time, hopefully they will look better.  I added a really playing card behind the image panel, as well as a few little cards I cut out with my Cameo.  A wooden clock embellishment, a striped ribbon bow and a tiny watch charm finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image (please don't scrutinize those folds too much):

 

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Blonde Hair: E50, E53, E43, E57

Blues: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

White: C0, C1, C3, C5

Reds: R22, R35, R37, R46, R59

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out the Make it Crafty Fan Page on Facebook for loads of inspiration and fun chat.  Oh, and have you seen the fabulous new photo galleries at the Make it Crafty store?  You should definitely enter all your MiC projects there!  It's super easy to do and who knows?  Your project may be one that Zoe picks to feature!

I am entering my card in the following challenges;
Digi Sketch Challenge (sketch only)
Loves Rubberstamps Challenge #111 (red, white and blue)
A Creative Romance Challenge (show the colors of your flag; in my case, red, white and blue)

Here is the sketch:

Have a great day and see you tomorrow!

Melissa's Balloon

Hi again!  I'm back with a second quick post today.  I realized that I hadn't yet shared my GD inspiration with this month $1 digi over in the Make it Crafty Facebook group.  Every month, there is a new digi from the Make it Crafty store that is only $1 if you are a member of the Facebook group and pick up the special code.   That alone is a great reason to join the group, but you also get lots of inspiration from the DT and fans, fun chats and heads-up on some special events and sales.  What are you waiting for?  Pop over and join up, if you haven't already.

This month's $1 is Melissa's Balloon.  She is such a cutie! I just love her expression!  The Make it Crafty store is temporarily closed while Zoe adds some new features and images so I can't link up Melissa's Balloon for you, but I will come back and update the links as soon as the store re-opens. There was also a little "challenge" issued in the FB group to color this digi using the no lines/light lines technique.  Of course, I had to give it a go. It would have downright rude of me not to!   I also gave my Melissa curly hair for the hard part of this month's Make it Colourful Challenge #10.   Phew!  That was a lot to take on at once, at least for me!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Island Indigo and the patterned papers are from the October Afternoon Woodland Park 8x8 pad.  I printed Melissa's Balloon on MiC Blending Card with very light lines using the washout effect in Word, then colored her with my Copics.  As you can see, I definitely need a lot more practice with this technique!  A simple olive satin bow was all I added to finish my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair: E53, E35, E57

Dress and shoes: RV10, R81, R83, R85, BG000, BG02, BG05, BG07

Balloon: RV10, R81, R83, R85

Thanks for stopping by again!  I'll pop around in a bit to visit a little until I can't sit any longer.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Country Cottage in Spring

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  Hope you've had a great weekend so far!  We've been a bit busy and I haven't been around much, but I did want to pop in and share a card I made for my GD stint with the Make it Crafty FB team.  I am having the best time creating with all the fabulous new digi stamps and pre-made scenes from Make it Crafty!  Today, I have some inspiration with one of the new Country Cottage scenes.  It's also inspiration for the current Make it Colourful Challenge #7.  The easy challenge is to color trees and/or flowers.  The hard challenges is to color wood.  I went with both.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mat are SU Garden Green and the patterned papers is from the Thomas Kincaid "Painter of Light" 12x12 pad.  The focal image is one of the new pre-made digi scenes from the Make it Crafty Country Cottage collection called Country Cottage Garden.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics, of course.  I added a few white gel pen highlights and a bit of Glossy Accents on the terra cotta/copper pot on the lower shelf.  I didn't add any embellishments so I wouldn't take away from the image.

Here is a close-up of the colored scene:

Copic colors:

Wood wall: E31, E35, E57, E79

Wood on window frame, shelves, wheel and cart: E21, E23, E29, E79

Enjoy the rest of your day or evening!

Cafe de Paris

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  Hope you've had a good weekend so far!  We've been pretty busy, so hoping that today will be a day to relax.  It is supposed to get near 60 later!  Sorry to mention that, especially to my friends and family who got hit with yet another snow storm yesterday. Crazy! Anyway, I am popping in quickly to share the card I made for this month's Make it Colourful Challenge #6.  As always, there is an easy and hard component to the challenge.  The easy challenge was to color with browns and the hard challenge was to color the entire image in brown like a sepia photograph.  Even skin tones had to be sepia.  I decided to give the sepia look a try and combine the two parts of the challenge. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Chocolate Chip and the barely-visible patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Madison Avenue 6x6 pad.  I created a scene to color by merging a cropped version of the Café de Paris Digi Stamp with Seductive Barbs from the new Carefree Woman collection, all from Make it Crafty, of course.  I printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it using only E markers (E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47, E49). It sure was hard coloring her skin with these markers!  I didn't add any sentiment or embellishments so the scene would be the main focus.

 

Here is a close-up of the colored scene:

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be around a little later to catch up on your blogs!

Have a great day!

Happy Balloon Day!

Hi again!  I didn't think I would be back today, but I managed to finish a card I was hoping to share for a couple of challenges.  It is for the Make it Crafty Facebook Sketch Challenge #5 and the Make it Colourful Challenge #5.  As usual, there was an easy and hard challenge for the Make it Colourful challenge.  I chose the easy one this time, which was to use blue and yellow for coloring.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

I made a scalloped easel card using the sketch.  My card base and mats are SU Crushed Curry and the patterned paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Baby Jane 6x6 pad.  The fun image is Melissa's Balloon from Make it Crafty. I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I fussy cut her and popped her up on foam tape.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some dotted Crushed Curry ribbon finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Copics:

Skin: E50, E51, E21, E11, E13

Christmas Eve Countdown

Hi again!  I'm back with a second quick post today to share a card for the current Make it Crafty challenges.  I made a card for Sketch Challenge #4 in the Facebook group and Challenge #4 over at Make it Colourful. The Make it Colourful Challenge has an easy and hard part, as usual.  The easy challenge is to color your image with mainly red and green.  The hard challenge is to add texture.  I combined the easy and hard challenges and also used the sketch.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Green Apple and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Festive 6x6 pad.  My fun image is Christmas Eve Countdown from Make it Crafty.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I tried to add texture to the trim on his suit, the snow and the sack.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I added Glossy Accents to his goggles and watch face and a bit of Liquid Pearls around the image for snow flakes.  A red and green striped bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11

Christmas Fairy Celandine

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is going OK so far.  What a nasty day it was here!  It was very windy, rainy and the temps were only in the low 40s!   I sure would have stayed in all day if it weren't for an appointment with my surgeon.  He says I am doing well, but still have to use caution with lifting and bending and I am still supposed to limit my sitting and standing to short periods with rest in between.  This doesn't leave me much to do, does it?  I am not a patient person, but I am going to do what he says and hope that my recovery will go quicker that way.  Anyway, enough about me.  I am here with a quick post to share the card I made for the Make it Colourful Challenge #3 which was focused on skin definition.  The easy challenge was just to use skin colors you don't ordinarily use and the hard challenge was to show muscle definition with your coloring.  I decided to combine them into one image.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned paper is from the Authentique Festive 6x6 pad.  The image is Fairy Celandine from Make it Crafty.  I used the rubber stamp, but the digi is available in the MiC store.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her in Christmas colors with my Copics.  I used a new, darker color combo for the skin and I added muscle definition. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A couple of 3-D poinsettias stickers and a few pearls from my stash were my only embellishments since I was mainly focused on the colored image.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Copics:

Skin: E50, E51, E11, E23

Hair: C3. C5, C9

Red (dress and flowers): R32, R35, R37, R46, R59

Green: G40, G43, G46

That's it for now!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great evening and see you soon!

Eerie Scene

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope you are having a great week so far!  I managed to sneak into my craft room again and do a little coloring.  Have you heard that the Make it Colourful Challenges have started back up?   I have always enjoyed playing along with these challenges!  They really stretch my coloring skills, limited such as they are, and I appreciate the chance to practice and the inspiration from the extraordinary DT!  Challenge #1 has both an easy and a hard component.  You can do either or both.  The easy challenge is to color an image with mainly black and orange and the hard challenge is to create a spooky scene.  I decided to combine them on one coloring project.

Here is what I came up with:

I used some patterned paper from the K & Co. Brenda Walton Halloween pad from last year.  For my scene, I merged two digis from Make it Crafty - Eerie Scene and Witchy Wanda.  I printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it all with my Copics.  I did Wanda in black and orange for the easy challenge and created the spooky background scene for the hard challenge.  I added a bit of  metallic detail on her skirt and boots with my Black and Silver Letraset Metallic markers. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is part of the Beware Halloween Word Art set in Paulette's store here. Some Webster's Pages black velvet trim and a 3-D bat finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored scene:

Copic Colors:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E13

Hair: C5, C7, C9

Dress and boots: C1, C3, C5, C7, C9

Hi there!  OK, I promise this is it for me today.  I really wanted to get this card posted before I missed any of the deadlines.   I made the card for three challenges: Little Miss Muffet Challenge #34 (May flowers), Craft-A-Scene May Challenge (spring flowers) and Make it Colourful Challenge #51 in the Make it Crafty Clubhouse (color rainbows).

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Marina Mist and layered with patterned paper from the Basic Grey Picadilly 6x6 pad.   For my spring flowers scene, I merged three digi stamps: Rainbow Dandelion and Park Bench For Two from Make it Crafty and Butterfly Kisses from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed the merged image on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored it all with my Copics.  I added a bit of Stickles to the little butterfly.   I didn't add any extra embellishments as I wanted the scene to be the focal point.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.

Copics: Skin (E000, E00, E11); Hair (E25, E31, E50); Sky (B32); Rainbow (R24, YR04, Y15, G07, B24); Sun (Y11, Y13, Y15); Flowers (R24); Grass and foliage (YG00, YG11, YG13, YG17, YG21, YG23, YG25, YG61, YG63, YG67); Rocks (W1, W3, W5, W7).

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope to see you again soon!
