Friday Coloring Challenge (on Tuesday)

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope you had a good weekend and a great start to your week. Is anyone but me freaking out that Christmas is only a little more than a week away?  Of course, I am not prepared in the least and I have so much going on right now that I know I will be rushing at the last minute.  Anyway, I am here, although a few days late, with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is "gifts/gift packaging".  Perfect for those last minute cards or gift-card holders, right?  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 Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the American Crafts Merrymint 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Aurora Christmas Card by The East Wind.  Let's just say there was a gift card inside!  I colored her with my Copics and added some Polar White Flower Soft to her ear muffs.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few festive stocking stickers 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 beautiful projects from the rest of my teammies.  We hope you will play along!  The December challenges are being sponsored by The East Wind.  The lucky winner will get to choose 3 digis from The East Wind Etsy shop.  Head over to the shop and check out Unky's fabulous digis!

Have a great day and see you soon!

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 weather has improved dramatically here and we are back into the 60s, at least during the day.  It's still cold at night, but that's OK.  We may even get some much-needed rain on Sunday, which is fine as long as it doesn't come with the severe thunderstorms that are predicted. Anyway, I've got a busy day so I will get on with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is a color inspiration.  You don't have to match the colors exactly, but we want to be able to recognize the overall color palette on your project.  And don't forget, you can use any coloring medium you'd like as long as you have a hand-colored image.

And here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Lost Lagoon and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste "Charm" 6x6 pad.  The image is Aurora Daisy from The East Wind, our sponsor for November.  The DT was generously provided with a digi to use and this is the one I chose.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few opaque gems is aqua and deep purple finished my card.
