Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Is it possible it's Friday again already?  And the very end of August, no less!  Really can't believe September starts next week.  Our weather has cooled down a little and it's delightful for the time being.  I am hoping it stays that way over the weekend.  Well, as always on Friday, I am here 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 project to enter the challenge.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Riding Hood Red and the patterned papers are from the Pink Paislee Noel collection.  The beautiful image is Home for the Holidays by Katerina Koukiotis from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored it with my Copics.  I added some Ice White Pearl Pen accents to the snowflakes and some Star Dust Stickles to the snowy scene in the background.  The sentiment is from Make it Crafty.  A simple red satin bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I was having a good week until my 3-month-old desktop computer decided to stop working!  I am online with Geek Squad and they are trying to sort it out, but what a big pain!! Meanwhile, I have had to set up an old laptop just so I can check mail and do my post. Anyway, here I am, albeit late, to share my card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz. The theme this week is "celebrations".  It can be the celebration of any occasion, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project. 

Here is my card:

I made a card to celebrate the birth of a friend's baby boy. My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the Graphic 45 Little Darlings 8x8 pad.  The sweet image is Mother and Baby Boy by Conie Fong from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A big bow and a handmade heart button finished my card.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  The sun is finally shining here, but it's still cold.  It was only 26 this morning.  That might not sound cold to some in other parts of the country, but it's pretty darn cold for the South! Anyway, I am here now with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  I am a bit late today, because Blogger is not letting me add photos to my post.  I switched browsers and I hope this comes through finally. The theme this week is "color inspiration"  You don't have to match the exact colors, but we want to be able to recognize the chosen color palette.  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter.

Here is the color inspiration, courtesy of Design Seeds:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Just Sayin' 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Lovely Irene from Art by MiRan.  I colored her with my Copics.  I didn't add a sentiment yet because I haven't decided to whom I'm sending it.  I'll add one later.  I finished my card with just a few pearls from my stash.

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

Scarf and mittens: YG01, YG03, YG25, YG17, YG67

Ice: C1, E30, B32, BG93, BV00

Snow: C1, B000, BG10, E30, BV00

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.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Card Mania Challenge #61 (favorite color combo; mine is blue, green and purple)
