Sketch Saturday #347

Hi there!  Happy Sunday!  Hope you've had a great weekend!  I am popping in quickly to share my DT card for this week's Sketch Saturday challenge.  I know I am a day late but I had a few issues posting and waited until today when they were resolved.  Anyway, our sponsor this week is A Day For Daisies, who are offering the lucky winner a $12 GC to the ADFD shop.
 


Here is this week's sketch, designed by Niki:
 
Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Just Sayin' 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Helping The Flowers from A Day For Daisies.  It was offered as a freebie a couple of years ago and I was lucky enough to get it.  I colored it with my Copics.  Two Washi tape banners and a single wild rose from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

I chose the diagonal with pink, free and green and used aqua as my free color.

Have a great day and see you soon!

Make it Colourful Challenge #18

Hi again!  I am back with a second post today.  If you are looking for my DoveArt Blog Hop post, please click here or scroll down one post. I am back now with my DT post for the new Make it Colourful Challenge.  The challenge for this month is "color on Kraft with pink".  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must color on Kraft paper.  If you haven't done this before, it's a great chance to try something new!  I had only tried coloring on Kraft once before, so it was something different for me, too.  As always, the fabulous Make it Crafty DT has plenty of amazing inspiration for you on the Make it Colourful blog.

Here is my card:
 

My card base and mats are SU Primrose Petals and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Uncommon 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Penny In Love, one of the newly-released Love Collection from Make it Crafty.  I colored her on Kraft with Prismacolor Pencils.  I definitely need more practice with this technique, but trying something new is what these challenges are all about!  The chipboard sentiment is from the Doodle Love Words Chipboard set, also new from Make it Crafty.  A simple bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
 

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Make it Colourful Challenge blog and check out the outstanding creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you will join in on the challenge.  There is a special album set up in the Make it Crafty store photo gallery just for challenge entries.  Can't wait to see what you create!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Dove Art Blog Hop

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start! I am here this morning with a very special post. The DT from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and some of the ladies from the Make It Crafty DT have come together today for a fun blog hop and to share some exciting news!  Our friend, Jennifer Dove, has a wonderful new rubber stamp line called DoveArt Designs and Little Miss Muffet Stamps now carries them in the store!  Jennifer is focusing on nature images with lots of realistic details that will be perfect for coloring!  We know you will enjoy creating with these new stamps and they will be perfect for so many different occasions!

The full line-up for the hop is shown in the Inlinkz below. We hope you enjoy seeing everyone's creations!  We will be showing you just a few of the new stamps today, but the whole stamp line can be found HERE at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.


OK, on to my project!  The stamp I have chosen to use is "Bird on a Branch":
 

My card base and mats are SU Crisp Cantaloupe and the pretty patterned papers are from the Prima Songbird 6x6 pad.  I colored the beautiful little sparrow image with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC. I didn't add any other embellishments so that the image could take center stage.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I have only one hope for the weekend and that is to get caught up and cleaned up in my craft room!  It's a disaster at the moment!  Anyway, I am here now to share my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "card for a friend".  It is National Make a Card for a Friend Day - lol! The card can be for any occasion, but it should be obvious it is for a friend.  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project.
 
Here is my card:
 

My card base and mats are GKD Turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the Glitz Designs Cashmere Dame 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is Blue Pearl by Joanne Schemmp, available from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I colored her with my Copics.  I added Liquid Pearls to the pearl details in the image.  The friendship sentiment is from Create With TLC

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
