This week our sponsor is Polkadoodles

Remember you need to claim your prize within 2 weeks as per the rules in the sidebar. Also please allow a few weeks for the sponsor to get back to you with any prizes. I'm sure you can appreciate that they are very busy.

So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  

Ruth:  I've used Expecting A New Baby from Winnie Celebrations 3 and coloured it up with Promarkers plus a little glitter glue here and there.  The sentiment is also from the same Winnie collection.

Hello.. Billie A. here with my card using the image Winnie sugar sparkles sharing is caring. I cut the image out first with Lil Inker stitch die. I then created the background using my cloud and ground template and Ranger ink. I then colored the image with copics. I went over her bow, apple, trim, shoe flowers with Nuvo glitter brush. I tied a strip of twine and added the Reverse Confetti sentiment. I added her to a piece of designer paper.

Helloooooo, it's Jackie here. I used the image Winnie Mermaid from our fabulous sponsor Polkadoodles. I coloured with pencils. I then added some Trimcraft Dp. A paper bow and sentiment along with a couple of charms finish the card.  We love to see your work!  You can see more details HERE.

Hello! Kathy here sharing a card that features a sweet image from Polkadoodles named "Miss Kelly Von Sweets." I colored the little cutie with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. 

Hello! Kathy again. The Polkadoodles images this week were so cute that I couldn't decide which of the images to use… so I chose TWO! My second card features a scene named Anchors Away. I wanted to make it look like Mermaid Winnie was really sitting on the anchor so created a Z-Fold card. The image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen.  The water bubbles were created with clear sequins and Nuvo Crystal Drops [Clear Morning Dew] and the sentiment is from a Bugaboo Stamps digi set named Under the Sea.

Hello,  It's Julie here.  I had to join in when Polkadoodles was sponsoring as the images are too cute not to color up!  This is Ruby Birthday Cake looking beautiful and ready to celebrate!  I colored her with Copic markers, used papers from We Are 3 Digital Shop, some foil trim, and baker's twine to finish off the card.  She's so cute, I didn't even think she needed a sentiment!

Hello, Carole here to share my card made with Polkadoodles' Winnie Mermaid - Anchor's Away:

I printed the digi and die cut it with a scalloped oval die.  I used Copic markers to colour the image, adding some white highlights and some Stickles Crystal glitter. I inked the background lightly while the die was in place, so that I got an even, crisp edge to the inking line on the outside.

I used design paper for my background, tucking a doily behind the image. The mermaid image is popped on foam pads to give some dimension to the card. I die cut some seaweed from the design paper and inked the edges. I arranged the seaweed, leaving the fronds loose and curled, with dried flowers which I dyed with Dylusions ink spray, and Little Birdie flowers. I die cut a circle, stamped the sentiment, inked the edges and popped the sentiment disc on foam pads.

Hi Dawn here to share my card with Polkadoodles Octavia Bird in the Hand. I kept it really simple and just used copic markers since Octavia is such a gorgeous image. I've been taking colouring lessons and will have to redo this when I've complete the course on pleats, it'll be great to see if I learned anything, lol!

Hello! Lou here to share my card using Skateboard Little Dudes from Polkadoodles. I actually followed a sketch for my card so that I could use the digital papers that come with the digital stamp. I have coloured the image with Copics markers, cut the papers to fit the sketch and adhered one of the sentiments to the card. More details can be found on my blog post - here, including the sketch.

Hello Margaret here I have used Polkadoodles digi stamp Forest Friend Winnie Angel which I coloured with chalks, Prismacolor pencils and glitter gel pens.  Sentiment is from We are 3 Happy Christmas sentiment set

Hi Silke here.  For my card I used the image Winnie Mermaid from our sponsor Polkadoodles. First a design paper and a fishing net were attached on a blue card. The motive was coloured with Copics and fixed on the card. Afterwards the shell, the starfish and fishes made of silver hologram paper were positioned on the card. The sentiment was hot embossed  and placed over the motif. Finally the card was decorated with some sequins.

Janet here, and I have also used the Polkadoodles image Winnie Mermazing Anchors Away. I have coloured the image using Polychromo pencils. The image is layered on a tri-fold card and embellished with ribbon, a string of beads, some fish and a shell charm.

Hello! Hanna here to share my card using Skateboard from the Little Dudes Collection by Polkadoodles. I coloured this cool image with Distress Inks. The patterned papers and greetings are also from the same pack.   

Just fabulous as always!

I colored the darling image with copics and then fussy cut her out. I added her to the background with foam dots. I stamped the Honey Bee "I love you" and die cut the Simon Says "with all my heart".

Week 30 - Anything Goes Colouring Challenge - Sponsored by Dr Digi

Good morning and welcome to The Colour Crazy Challenge blog!

Our weekly challenge theme is always Anything Goes

You can use any colouring medium you like, onto any project you like, and in any colours you like.
Please note, we are a colouring challenge and therefore you must display some colouring on your project - I'm sorry but we don't accept pre-coloured images.

This week our sponsor is Dr Digi

Remember you need to claim your prize within 2 weeks as per the rules in the sidebar. Also please allow a few weeks for the sponsor to get back to you with any prizes. I'm sure you can appreciate that they are very busy.

So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  

Ruth:  I've used Pint Glass, coloured with Promarkers and then layered onto the background.  The papers I've had for quite some time in my stash and I have a feeling they are retired Funky Hand.  The sentiment is from the Beer Sentiments Sheet.

Monica here with a take on this brilliant image by Dr Digi House of Stamps called Bus Stop Bunch. I thought they would make the perfect belated birthday card and so here they are. I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils on dark Canson Mi-Tientes paper. The sentiment is computer generated.

Hello... It's Billie A here with my card using the Dr. Digi image Paddling pool Peggy..  Now how many times have you gotten into your kids pool? I love what Peggy did by using her floater and putting it in the kiddie pool.. Obviously most of the water drained out.. I created the scene and colored the image with copics. I added some dots to her float ring. I used my cloud template and Ranger ink to create the sky. I made a little post and added the G-rated sentiment that was cut out using Stampin up stitch square. I went over the water, her wine and pool with Nuvo glitter brush. I went around the edge with Ranger ink.  I mounted it on a piece of designer paper.

Hi all, Dawn here with my card using the Dr Digi image Cuddly Critters - Rabbit.  The image is coloured with my Polychromo pencils.  The sentiment is computer generated and the little carrots are cut from some clip art on the computer too.  The backing papers are from Claritystamp and Lili of the Valley.  

Hello! Kathy here sharing a card that features Dr. Digi's fun image named, appropriately, "Made for Each Other."  When I saw the image I immediately thought of a niece and her new hubby that were married on Halloween last year. The reception was actually a costume party with the bride, groom and most of the guests dressed up in style. So… I made this Anniversary card just for them. I have a feeling that they'll think it is a scream! [The sentiments on the card, inspired by the name of the digi, were computer generated.]

 

Hi Dawn here with my Doctor Digi card using Derek Clampton Dunderton, lol, and the sentiment is from Kenny K. This was my husband's Father's Day card, turned out fabulous!  I coloured it with copic markers and used my deckle trimmer to frame it. Dots and stars embossing folder finishes it off!

Hello, it's Julie here with such a fun image from Doctor Digi.  This is Derek Clampton Dunderton!  He is rockin' it out with his old fashioned radio and tennis racket!  I colored Derek Clampton with Copic markers, then computer generated the sentiment.  I plan to use it for my husband's birthday card.  He loves classic rock n' roll!  Papers from We Are 3 Digital Shop, and a very embellishments that were on my craft desk finish off the card.  Rock on, fellow crafters, rock on!

Hello it's Helen here with my card for this week's challenge.  I chose to use the very cute 'Cuddly Critters Elephant' digi stamp which is available here on Dr Digi's website.  I coloured the image with Promarkers and then teamed it up with some bright papers.  I haven't included a sentiment because I thought this card could be used for lots of different occasions.

Hi there, Margo here with the fabulous Spells for Beginners from Doctor Digi our fabulous sponsor this week!  I have coloured the guy with my Copic markers and added a handwritten sentiment.

The backing paper is an oldie from Magnolia.

Just fabulous as always!

Week 28 - Anything Goes Colouring Challenge - Sponsored by Knitty Kitty Digis

Good morning and welcome to The Colour Crazy Challenge blog!

Our weekly challenge theme is always Anything Goes

You can use any colouring medium you like, onto any project you like, and in any colours you like.
Please note, we are a colouring challenge and therefore you must display some colouring on your project - I'm sorry but we don't accept pre-coloured images.

This week our sponsor is Knitty Kitty Designs

Remember you need to claim your prize within 2 weeks as per the rules in the sidebar. Also please allow a few weeks for the sponsor to get back to you with any prizes. I'm sure you can appreciate that they are very busy.

So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  

Ruth:  This Knitted Kitty image really made me smile and as I'm on a mission to use up all my printed papers and scraps, I themed the colouring (with Promarkers) around it.  The papers have been in my stash for an absolute age and I used an X Cut die for the stars.  The sentiment has been printed on some vellum and I came across it by chance

Hello.. It's Billie A.. I am here with my card using the image called Knitted sweater kitty. I colored the image with copics and then took a white gel pen and created circles all over. I fussy cut the image out. I took a strip of scrap paper and heat embossed the My favorite things sentiment.. I added this to a piece of Basic Grey designer paper. I added the kitten with some foam dots.

Hello! Kathy here sharing a card that features Knitty Kitty's snuggly warm image named, appropriately, "KnittedKitty."  I paper-pieced the wool sweater with a free clipart Nordic wool sweater pattern that I found on the web. [You can find details on my blog of the steps I developed to create this realistic item.] The circle sentiment is from one of Imagine That Digistamps Freebie sets named "Jenn and Friends." [You can find it HERE.]

Hello, Carole here to share my Knitted Kitty card. I had a go at colouring a knitted jumper for the kitty. I read Annabel's brilliant instructions and followed along with her step by step, photo tutorial which can be found here. What can I say ... I found it extremely tricky and you'll notice that I dropped a few stitches and had trouble keeping my tension even! However, I am quite pleased with the overall effect. More details on how I made this card can be found on my blog post here.

Hi Silke here.For my card I used the Digi "Ballon Kitty" from  the sponsor Knitty Kitty Digis. On a pale purple paper a stencil was put on and many dots were dabbed on and afterwards the paper was attached on the card. The motif was colored with copics, punched out, colored at the edge and then positioned on the card.  A white ribbon was then placed around the card and a bow bound. The sentiment was embossed and affixed under the motif. Some balloons and some sequins complete the card.

Hi Margaret here.  For my card I have coloured Knitty Kitty Designs digi stamp No 56 Holly Poocherson with chalks and Prismacolor pencils.  Layered onto papers from We are 3 Holly Berries paper collection  Added We are 3 Precoloured Holly Leaf and berry twice

Hi! Lou here. I have used the Knitty Kitty Digi Did someone say cream cake? for my card, but the kitties remind me of our two cats that appear out of nowhere when we come home, so I made a Welcome home card. I have used Copics for the colouring of the cute kitties with help of colours and techniques from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder in her All About Animals Class. I am trying to use more of my stash at the moment, so there are more details on my blogpost here about the other parts of my card. 

Hi! Hanna here. I've used a digi called Did Someone Say Cream Cake? by Knitty Kitty Digis. Such a cute image which is perfect for a tall card.  I've coloured the cuties with Distress Inks and used cardstock by Bazzill in black, white and red.

Just fabulous as always!
