Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  I'm up bright and early this morning and haven't even had my coffee yet, so bear with me!  I'm here to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge over at The Outlawz site.  This week's theme is Mardi Gras (purple, green and gold).  Definitely a fun one to stretch your creativity!

Here is my card for the challenge:

I used the layout from Sketch Saturday #192 and flipped it to vertical.  

My card base is GKD Good As Gold and I've layered with a few papers I found in my scrap bag.  The image is Chantelle At The Races from Make it Crafty.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copic markers and highlighted with Spica pens.  My sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A few ribbon stripes and some gold rhinestones finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge thread and check out the fabulous creations from my talented DT sistahs and our wonderful Guest Designer for February, Kathi.  We hope that you will get out your markers and play along with us this week!  There are always terrific prizes up for grabs for The Outlawz challenges!

Have a great Friday and weekend!  See you soon!

Another Valentine's Day Card

Hello again!  I didn't plan on being back so soon, but I wanted to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I try to do when I can.  I wasn't sure if I'd get a chance to squeeze this one in, but since I did, here I am.  My card is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday #139 (use Elisabeth Bell image), Elisabeth Bell's World January/February Challenge (Valentine's project with lots of hearts) and Tuesday Throwdown #83 (use hearts).

Here is this week's sketch from Arlana:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Certainly Celery and layered with patterned papers from the K & Co. Kelly Panacci Valentine's pad.   My adorable Elisabeth Bell image is A Pen Friend (Belles 'n Whistles).  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White and colored her with Copic markers.  I added some Red Stickles to the hearts on her outfit and her earrings.  The pink gingham ribbon and button were from my stash.  Three hearts punched from red glitter paper finished my creation.

Thanks for checking in again!  I always appreciate your visits and kind comments!  See you tomorrow for the new Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz!

Mo's DP2 Challenge #120 - Anything Goes

Good morning!  It's early for me, but it's Thursday and by now you know it's time for another Mo's Challenge!  This week, it's "anything goes" but we have an option for you - to use a sketch created by our own Iulia!  Either or both - it's up to you!  My card is also for a couple of other challenges: the Basic Grey Challenge #61 (favorite things), Crafty Emma's Store Challenge #70 (check it out - use checks) and Craft Your Passion #95 (beary sweet - use a bear).

Here is Iulia's sketch:

Here is my card:

I decided to go with Iulia's wonderful sketch.  I started with a card base of SU Bashful Blue and layered with plaid patterned paper from the Basic Grey Oxford Collection.  My sweet Mo's image (with a bear) is Freddy.  You can find him in Mo's store here.  I printed it on Cryogen White and colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  Some checked ribbon and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finished my card.  I think I covered everything - sketch for Mo's, colors, flowers and image for Basic Grey favorite things, "checked" paper and ribbon for Crafty Emma's and a bear for CYP.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Mo's Challenge Blog and check out the amazing creations from my wonderfully sweet and talented teammies!  Then grab your favorite Mo's image and play along with us!  You could win a free digi image from Mo's store!

Have a great day!

Card For A Couple of Challenges

Good morning!  Hope you're having a good day so far!  It's chilly and rainy here today - a good day to be working on projects indoors.  I'm popping in to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I like to do.  First, it's for The Paper Players #80 which was a sketch challenge.  It is also for the Digital Tuesday Challenge #145 (use a digi and the colors red, black and white).  Finally, this is my entry to the current Make it Colourful Challenge #44 (shading reds).

Here is the Paper Players sketch:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Black Onyx and layered with a patterned paper from my scrap bag (sorry, no name on it anymore).  My image is a digi from Make it Crafty called Elizabeth J.  She can be found in the MiC store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics (the reds: R39, R37, R35, R32; the red shading: E19, W5, W7).  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was part of the February Club.  I shaded the words with the same colors as the image.  I punched a heart from red glitter paper and popped it up.  Three glittery little heart gems finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be back soon with some other projects I've been working on.
