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

Today I would like to show you my last project as a guest designer for the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog: on today's card I used the beautiful digital stamp from Polkadoodles called “Winnie Starfish Sandcastle - Float Away“. I printed the image onto some Copic friendly paper. Then I coloured the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. Since I’m longing for spring/summer I used a bright colour combination: E000, R00, R01, E11, E31, YR30, E57, E89, Y11, Y08, Y19, RV52, RV06, RV19, YG17, YG67, B91, B95, B24, B37, B99, C4, C7, BG70.  You can find more details on my blog:www.makeyourlifecolourful.com I wish you a creative day! Hugs Heidi

Hello.

Ruth:  I've used a dinosaur freebie image that I found on the internet, coloured them with Promarkers - it's the same image, just flipped round.  The papers I found in my stash and I've added some snipped dies that look like dinosaur footprints!


Janet - I think this little guy is so cute. I've coloured in using Poly chromos Pencils. The background paper is from Basic Grey. I have used some hessian ribbon, lots of flowers and a bow to decorate. Plus a die cut Happy Birthday


Sharon:  I've used one of my old stamps from Sugar Nellie for my card, as I do love snowmen, and this pair always put a smile on my face. I have coloured the with Colorblend Pencils and blending solution, to get a soft blend, and then paired the image up with some NitWits digital papers.



Hello. This is Michelle here. For my card I have used some shark images called Shark Digital stamp by Pretty Grafik Design. I coloured the image in with Copic markers. I have gone for a messy look in regards to my background, which has been created using destress inks and also modeling paste to give a nice 3D look to the water background I created.


Hello.  This is Kym here.  For my birthday card I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Ladybugs" (which comes in a set with another image called "Monarch Butterfly".  For a change I have coloured the image in with various coloured pencils.  I struggle holding pencils even with a support on the pencil so I don't use pencils very often.

The backing papers I have used are from my stash.  I have finished the card off with some organza ribbon, metallic ribbon, die-cut sentiment, flower from a friend in Canada and two rather cute die-cut ladybirds.



Just fabulous as always ladies.
