Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and you have something fun planned for the upcoming weekend! The weather here will be pretty and sunny, although cool, so it will be nice to be out and about.  Last week it was pouring down rain a good part of the weekend. No fun!  Before getting on with the day, I am here to post my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is "let it snow".  Very fun for making cards, but I definitely don't want it to actually do so here!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Blue Bayou and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Winter Fun 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is Moon of Wintertime by Elaine Cox.  It was available from Sweet Pea Stamps before they closed last week.  I colored it with my Copics, then added a bit of Star Dust Stickles to the snowflakes.  A stitched ribbon bow and a couple of white glitter paper die cuts finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Hello!  Happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a good week so far!  Sorry to have been MIA for a couple of weeks.  We have a lot going on in real life and I haven't had much time for crafting or the computer.  Just in time before another challenge starts at the end of the week, here is my DT card for last week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week was a color inspiration.  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 photo, courtesy of Design Seeds:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Elegant Eggplant and the patterned papers are from a K & Co. stack.  I can't remember which one.  The beautiful image is Ethnic Necklaces Girl by Lemon Shortbread from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics and added lots of sparkle to her necklaces with Stickles.  I didn't add anything else.  I wanted this dramatic image to be the focus.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Have a great day and I'll be back on Friday with my DT card for the new challenge.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week and you have some fun plans for the weekend.  It's supposed to rain again here, which is not good since we are trying to get some painting done on the house.  Looks like it might be another indoor sort of weekend.  That's OK, because there's never a lack of things that need doing around the house.  Anyway, I am here now with mt DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "party time" in honor of Its My Party Day on October 11th.  Anything party-related will work, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter the challenge.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned paper is from the Prima Melody 6x6 pad (I think).  The sweet image is Love is in the Air by Katerina Koukiotis from Sweet Pea Stamps. I colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is computer-generated (by me).  A simple satin bow finished my card.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and you have fun palns for the weekend!  It is supposed to rain all weekend here, so I am guessing our weekend activities will be limited to indoors.  That's OK.  I've got lots to catch up on inside.  I am popping in with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme for this first week of October is "anything Alice in Wonderland" in honor of Mad Hatter Day coming up on Tuesday.  Anything "Alice" will work, but please remember you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter.

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.

Friday Coloring Challenge - On Monday

Good morning!  Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend and your week is off to a great start!  It continues to be super hot and humid here with lots of storms popping up.  I am looking forward to a little break in this weather, but it might be awhile yet since this week is still supposed to be very hot.  I am here with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  It's not lost on me that this is now Monday and I am late with my post! I had limited internet access over the past few days, so I gave up and took a forced break from the computer.  Luckily I could still check my e-mail on my phone, but that's all I did.  The theme for this week's challenge is a color inspiration.  You don't have to have an exact match to the colors, but we would like to be able to recognize the overall color palette.  You must still have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter.

Here is the color inspiration photo:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Night of Navy and the patterned papers are from the Little Yellow Bicycle Just Because 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Spring Flowers by Conie Fong from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is an old one from Raindrop Echo that was previously available at Whimsy Stamps and was offered as a freebie a couple of years ago.  I fancy diecut frame and a triple-loop taffeta bow and button finished my card.
