Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I've got nothing special planned.  We've had unseasonably warm weather all week, but it is supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so it will be a good day for indoor activities.  Before getting on with the day, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "beverages".  That's right!  We are celebrating National Bartender Appreciation Day, so we want to see some sort of beverage on your project.  It does not have to be an alcoholic beverage.  Any beverage will do.  You may use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must still have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project. 

 

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the American Crafts Merry Mint 6x6 pad.  The sassy image is Checking Out (for the year) from The Stamping Chef.  I colored her with my Copics.  I added some Glossy Accents to her belt, buttons, shoes and the cocktail glass.  I also added glitter to the trim on her outfit and hat.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few stocking stickers from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Friday Coloring Challenge and check out the awesome creations from my teammies, Kathi, Penny and Laine!  We hope you will play along!  We have a new sponsor for the month of December.  We are generously sponsored by Ppinkydolls Art.  Chrishanthi is offering our lucky winner 3 digis of their choice from the Ppinkydolls Art Etsy shop.  These digis are adorable!

Cupcake 6x6 pack.  The fun image is Kimberly Healthy Eating from Make it Crafty.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Glossy Accents to the apple and the cherry on top of the cupcake.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A glossy 3-D apple sticker finished my card.

Elphine House Australia Challenge #61

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday (at least in Brisbane).  It's still Tuesday night here and it's time for me to share my DT card for this month's Elphine House Australia Challenge.  The theme this month is "recycle or re-use something" for your project.  That leaves it pretty wide open, but please remember that you must use an Elisabeth Bell image.  It can be from any company that carries Elisabeth Bell designs.

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Summer Starfruit and the patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Botanical Odyssey 6.5x6.5 pad.  The sweet image is Emma's Gift of Love from Elphine House Australia.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  My recycled/reused item is the doily in the background.  I lifted it from under a dessert dish at dinner recently.  I actually do that whenever they are still in decent condition.  You never know when a used doily will come in handy  for card projects!  The scalloped border is a diecut from the same paper pad.  A few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored-image:

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Elphine House Australia challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations from Lynda and Julie.  We hope you will play along!  You have until Tuesday, September 16th, Brisbane time to enter your project.  Don't forget to use an Elisabeth Bell image.

Happy Birthday

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope your week is going well so far!  I've been super busy, but I'm getting things accomplished and that feels good.  Right now, I'm taking a little break and popping in to share a card I made for a friend's birthday, but it also fits a few challenges I enjoy doing.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are Kraft and the patterned papers are from the Prima Divine 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Bashful Belinda from art by miran.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.    I added some Petal Pink Liquid Pearls to her hair ornament and Fruit Punch Stickles to her belt and shoes.  The sentiment ticket was a freebie offered by Sara on her blog here.  It was quite awhile back so I don't know if it is still available.  Some lace ribbon, a ribbon flower and a few pearls from my stash finished my card.

Peace

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  I hope your week is off to a great start!  Sadly, our friends headed back home today.  We had a wonderful time while they were here!  I'm already looking forward to the next time we can get together.  I've spent the day trying to catch up with things around the house and in my craft room.  I am popping in really quickly to share a card I made for a few challenges I enjoy doing.

 

Here is my card:

There is not much to describe.  I was going for a "white on white" look.  I embossed the left panel with my Snowflakes embossing folder and I cut a scalloped border for the right with the Cheery Lynn Border Carnivale die.  The tranquil image is Snowy Mailbox from Delicious Doodles.  I only lightly shaded it with my gray Copics, then I added some Polar White Flower Soft to some of the snowy areas.  The Peace sentiment was cut with my Cameo.  Some wrinkled ribbon and a sparkly metal snowflake from my stash finished my card.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Delicious Doodles Challenge (white on white)
Sketch N Stash Challenge #138 (sketch; I flipped it)
Fab 'n' Funky Challenge #214(Christmas)
