Sketch Saturday #296

  Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  As I mentioned in a previous post, I am away for the weekend with limited internet access, so I may be a bit scarce until tomorrow night.  I am hoping Mr. Blogger cooperates and publishes this on time!  I am here this morning with my DT post for Sketch Saturday #296.  This week, we are generously sponsored by Simon Says Stamp who is offering a $25 GC to their fantastic store!

Here is Jen's fantastic sketch:

 

Here is my take on the sketch:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the Webster's Pages Citrus Squeeze collection.  The fun image is Stamping Bella's Uptown Girls Victoria and Juliette's Night Out.  It's stamped on MiC Blending Card and colored with my Copics.  I added Crystal and Fruit Punch Stickles to their outfits and shoes and Glossy Accents to their glasses.  The sentiment is from Stamping Bella's Uptown Girls Madison Has a Margarita.  A bit of chevron ribbon and a decorative clip finished my card.

 

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Have a great weekend and see you soon!

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi, there!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I had to run out for an early appointment so I'm off to a bit of a late start, but I'm popping in now to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is everyone's favorite "anything goes", as long as you have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand).  If you've been collecting our calendar pages all year, the template for the November page and the instructions for printing are in the challenge thread.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the fall-themed patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Forever Fall 6x6 pad.  The cute digi image is Crystal from Make it Crafty.  You can find her in the MiC store here.  Crystal comes along when you purchase Zoe's awesome Shading with a Light Source E-Book also in the store.  I printed her on Neenah Solar White (waiting on a new shipment of Make it Colour Blending card) and colored her with my Copics.  Can't wait until my MiC paper arrives, because I had a bit of trouble with my shading on this leftover paper.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A few fall leaves and three Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Are you ready for the weekend?  I know I am.  We've got just a little way to go so before getting on with the day, I'm here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is "back to school (or other school-related).  Very appropriate in my neck of the woods since school started on Monday and the buses have been rolling though the neighborhood all week.

Here is my card:

I started with SU Buckaroo Blue and layered with patterned papers from the Basic Grey Oxford collection.  My cute school image is Joel from Guylou's Inimitability.  You can find him in Guylou's store here.  I printed him on Copic X-Press It and colored him with my Copics.  I added some number and letter stickers from my stash, as well as a stack of books sticker  from The Paper House.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A ribbon and button finished up my card.

Here is a close-up of Joel:

My card is also for Through The Craftroom Door Challenge #32 (back to school), Craft Your Passion Challenge# 124 (use 3 of something - I used 3 numbers and three letters), Basic Grey Challenges #75 (anything goes), Simon Says Stamp (back to school) and Oozak Challenge #5 (fall theme).

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge forum and check out the fantastic creations from the rest of the DT and our wonderful Guest Designer for August, Tabbatha!  This month our challenges have been generously sponsored by Guylou at Guylou's Inimitability!  Guylou is offering a $10 GC to her on-line store to one randomly-selected participant in our August challenges.

We hope you will play along!  You only have this week and next to get in the running for this great prize!  Plus there are lots of fantastic monthly prizes to be won when you play in any of the challenges at The Outlawz!

Have a great day and a great weekend and hope to see you again soon!

Celebration

I'm back with another quick post tonight.  I'm catching up on all the things I didn't get to do over the weekend.  My card is for a bunch of challenges I like to do. It worked out great that several had similar themes.  So here goes. My card is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge #69 (sketch), Joan's Gardens Challenge #24 (red, white and blue, celebration, tag, stripes), Kenny K.'s Krafty Krew Challenge #100 (patriotic- use colors of your flag), Simon Says Stamp Challenge (sporty or patriotic), Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #170 (red, white and blue and sparkle), Incy Wincy Designs Challenge (patriotic- use colors of your flag), Love to Create Challenge #22 (stars and stripes) and the Copic Challenge #46 on Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom (big hair).  Phew!!

Here is the Papertake Weekly sketch:

Here is my card for all the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Red Hot and layered red, white and blue patterned papers from the October Afternoon Sidewalks and School Days 8x8 pads.  I was able to get my stars and stripes in with these papers.  My sassy image is Jasmine from Kenny K.  I printed her on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added sparkle to her top, shoes and glasses with Red Stickles and a Red Spica pen.  I made the silver buttons shine with a Letraset Metallic Marker.  I also added Glossy Accents to her glasses.

Here is a close-up of Jasmine:

The sentiment is from the Have Yourself A set from Create With TLC.  You can find it in Paulette's store here.  I made it into a tag and tied it with some Baker's Twine.  A bit of stitched navy ribbon finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by again.  I appreciate your visits so much!  Hope to see you again soon!
