Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi again!  I'm back, as promised, with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  Our theme for this final week of the month is, as always, "anything goes" with the option to add a Christmas twist.  The twist is entirely optional, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter.

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.

Here is a closer view of the colored image:

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week and you have fun plans for the upcoming weekend!  We've got a lot going on this weekend so I probably won't be around much.  Hopefully, the weather will clear up and it will be nice for the weekend! Speaking of weather, that is why I am so late posting today!  We've had strong thunderstorms all morning and I didn't want to have the computer on.  They seem to have calmed down now, so hopefully, I'll get this posted and get on with the day. I am here with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "April/Spring showers".  Very appropriate for my day!  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 my card:

 

 

My card base and mats are SU Ruby Red and the fun patterned papers are from my stash.  Sorry, but I can't remember the brand or collection.  The image is Raining Stars by Elaine Cox from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some stitched ribbon, a crocheted flower and a button finished my card.

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I am going to be busy spending time with our good friends who are visiting, so I won't be on the computer much in the next few days.  Before heading out this morning, I am here with my DT post for the Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is " have a heart".  We want to see a heart somewhere on your project.  You can use an coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image on your creation to enter.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Beautiful Moments 6x6 pad.  The gorgeous image is Valentia by Joanne Schemmp, available at Sweet Pea Stamps.  I have colored in pinks and red with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few gems from my stash finished my card.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday and happy 4th of July to those in the US and anyone else who might be celebrating!  It is a beautiful day here in AL and I can't wait to get out and enjoy it!  Before I do, I am here with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  As you may have already seen, we've changed this challenge from using alcohol markers only to using any coloring medium.  You still must have a colored image on your project, but this gives lots more options, in case you prefer pencils, watercolors, etc.  Of course, you can still use your trusty alcohol markers!  Anyway, the theme this week is "red, white and blue".  Your project doesn't have to be patriotic, but we want to see these three colors.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Lost Lagoon and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Celebrate 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is Crimson Illusion by ching chou kuik from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added silvery glitter to the leaves and Ice White Pearl Pen accents to the toadstools.  I finished my card with a simple bow and a couple of MiC chipboard butterflies.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Hit the Beach

Hi again!  I've got a second post for you today to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing.  Good thing I got well ahead of the game before my surgery, because I still can't sit long enough for coloring.   I hope I will be able to get back to it very soon.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are Kiwi Kiss and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Paradise Beach 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Glimmer by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Aqua, Green and Crystal Stickles here and there for some sparkle.  I cut out the image and popped it up on foam tape.  Some Kiwi satin ribbon and an aqua button finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Good afternoon!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend and your week is off to a good start!  The sun is finally shining again here.  Hope it stays that way for awhile!  I am popping in quickly to share a card I finished up for a few challenges I enjoy doing.  I have another busy week so I wasn't sure when else I'd be able to get my post in.

 

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are Bravo Burgundy and the patterned papers are from the Webster's Pages Nature's Storybook collection.  The beautiful image is Lilleth from Delicious Doodles (Teresa Sherman).  It is also available as a digi from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added a bit of Stickles to the centers of the large open lilies and some Liquid Pearls to her hairpiece and earring.  The sentiment is from A Piece of Heart.  Sharon generously shared it as a freebie here.  A vintage-style, fabric flower and a spray of Wild Orchid Crafts Gypsophila finished my card.

On My Mind

Good afternoon!  Happy Monday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  The weather has certainly changed here!  Yesterday was sunny and 75 and today is cloudy, rainy and 35.  I'll be glad when we are having mostly the former type or weather!  It won't be long, I'm sure.  At least we aren't getting snow like some of my friends and family!  Anyway, I'm popping in quickly to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing when I have time and I did find a little time for the craft room yesterday.

Here is my card:

 

My easel card base and mats are SU Lucky Limeade and the patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Devonshire 6x6 pad.  The beautiful digi image is Come Softly by ching chou kuik for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I printed her on Hammermill Digital Color Cover Stock and colored her with my Copics.  I added a few accents with my White Paint Pen.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A doily and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finished my card.

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi again!  I'm back tonight with my DT post for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  Normally I wouldn't post until tomorrow morning, but I have to go out of town and will be on a plane when I should be posting, so I'm going to go ahead and do it now.  The theme for this week's challenge is "Valentine's Day or Love".  Not very unique this time of year - lol!
