Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning, again!  This time I'm up and posting myself!  I'm back to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "fall activities", such as football, apple-picking, raking leaves, pumpkin patch, etc.  Anything related to fall activities as long as you have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand).

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Chocolate Chip and Marina Mist and the patterned papers are from Webster's Pages Game On Petite Papers and Motifs.  I chose football as my fall activity.  I merged two cute images from Bugaboo Stamps, Football Boy and Cheerleader Girl from the Bugaboo Brat Sports collection.  I printed the merged image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored them with my Copics. I added a bunch of red glitter to her pom poms.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A punched star and a few football-related stickers from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge and check out the fun fall creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you'll pull out your alcohol markers and come join us for the challenge!  The October challenges are being generously sponsored by Make it Crafty!  One lucky participant in our challenges will win Zoe's new Colouring Techniques E-Book!  You don't want to miss out on the chance to win this awesome prize!  Check out all the fabulous products in the Make it Crafty store here.


My card is also for Seems a Little Sketchy #23.

Style is Eternal

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Sorry I've been MIA this week.  I've had some family issues to deal with and haven't had much time in the craft room or on the computer.  But I'm here now to share my first post as a full member of the Little Miss Muffet DT!  I am so thrilled that they asked me to stay on after being a GD for September!  We have a new challenge for you this week!  The theme is "simplicity".  All of you who know me know I love to pile on the layers and use lots of patterned papers on my creations, so this theme really was a challenge for me!

Here is my card:


I started with an A6 card base of GKD Heavy Base Weight White and added a half-panel of patterned paper from the Kaisercraft Chapter One 6.5 x 6.5 pad matted with GKD Black Onyx.  My elegant image is Evelyn from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Lime Green and Aqua Stickles to her accessories to make them sparkle and shimmer.  I matted the image with a Spellbinders Floral Oval diecut. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is part of the Retail Therapy set in Paulette's store here.  I couldn't help myself from adding a seam binding bow and a few iridescent gems from my stash to finish up my "simple" design.

Here is a close-up of Evelyn:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the new challenge on the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations from my amazingly-talented teammates and our awesome Guest Designer for October, Paula-Kay!  We hope you'll play along with the challenge!  And don't forget, if you use a Little Miss Muffet stamp, you can do "anything goes"!  You have until Tuesday, October 16 to enter your creation.

My card is also for the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp (glimmer and sparkle), Crafts and Me Challenge #104 (add a sentiment to front of card) and Totally Stampalicious Challenge (anything goes).

Have a great day and see you again soon!

Never Give Up

Hi again!  I'm back with a quick post to share the card I made for a couple of challenges I like to do.  It is for Saturated Canary Challenge #27 (use office supplies), Sweet Sketch Wednesday #173 (sketch and celebrate women theme) and another for Jackson's Digital Expressions #24 (pink or breast cancer awareness).  Don't forget that Chana and a few other of the JDE DT members are donating $0.25 to breast cancer research for every entry in the challenge.  It's so generous of them to support this worthy cause!

Here is SSW-173:


Here is my card for the challenges:


My card base and mats are SU Purely Pomegranate and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Blush 6x6 pad.  The great image is Boobie Love from Saturated Canary.  Krista generously shared it as a freebie back in March.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Stickles to the trim on her pants and tee shirt and the rose in her hair.  I added a touch of Glossy Accents to her lips.  The sentiment is from the Help For Katie 2 fund-raising collection from last year. I colored the pink ribbon with Copics and added Cotton Candy Stickles to it.  A couple of pink paper clips and a pink BCA ribbon charm finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your evening and be sure to drop by tomorrow for the Create With TLC Blog Hop!  There will be lots of beautiful creations and freebies at every stop along the way!
