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 we are very kindly sponsored by Ching-Chou Kuik


Our sponsor is very generously giving the winner of this challenge the prize of 2 single digis from their store.

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.

Also don't forget we are also always looking for people to guest spot on our DT. So if you would like to be considered as a GDT, after your name on your entry add the letters GDT.

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

We'd like to welcome NanaConnie as our Guest Designer for the next 3 months - her wonderful creation is shown below!

Ruth:  I've used this wonderful Lil Bookworm Fairy image, coloured with Promarkers with Fourini papers and flowers.   I've used coloured pencils for the background to give it a soft edge.


Hey, it's Tammy!  Today I am using the image Aloha Lady for my card today.  I just did a simple Copic color and then used my Spellbinders Label 26 to cut and layer.  The DP is just from my stash, but I believe it is Crate Paper.  My sentiment is from Paper Smooches and then I just added a few Nuevo dots in Black


Penny Light here...I chose the image Little Bookworm Fairy So much of the Ching-Chou-Kwik art is just gorgeous.  I colored it with copic markers: E00, B00, YG17, B41, Y31, Y32, Y08, Y28, B24, N0, Y202, G05, RV02, BV00, BV02, RV00, R27, R20, E11 and the 0 Blender pen.  I created a pedestal card and the quote reads "Books are sometimes the best company a person could ask for."  I had fun with this piece and was happy with my coloring... a rare event.   The book the card is sitting on is a book written by my son. (Proud Mom). Have a colourful day! 

NanaConnie here and this is my first card as a Guest Designer.  I also used Little Bookworm Fairy.  I've been a fan of Ching-Chou Kuik for a few years now and I do love colouring her images.  I used ProMarkers and glitter on the image; Primrose, Yellow, Buttercup, Soft Peach, Pale Pink, Lavender, Purple, Cool Gray 1 & 2, Ivory, Mint, Beige, Cocoa Brown, Tan, and Sunflower.   I made a shaped card using a manual die.  The glittered "ribbon" is actually washi tape.  I also added glitter to her wings.



Hello.  This is Kym here.  For my card I have decided to make a Christmas card and I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Holly Fairy" and I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and inked the edges with a green Versa Magic ink pad.  The Promarkers I have used are:  Face/skin/fairy wings - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal; 
Hair - Burnt Sienna, Cocoa and Cinnamon; Holly leaves/berries - Leaf Green, Bright Green, Forest Green, Poppy and Berry Red; Dress - Yellow and Lemon; Sky - Pastel Blue.



Hi it's Janet here - I've used a Ching-Chou Kuik image. She has been watercoloured. 



Hi Julia here I have used Ching-Chou Kuik Time Will Tell digi stamp and I have coloured her up using my Copic markers. Full details on my blog.


Just fabulous as always!

Ruth:  I've used this cute image from the Fuzzypuffs collection, coloured her up with Promarkers.  I've added some glitter glue dots on her hair bow and balloon plus a dotted line of liquid pearls around the edges of the image.


Hello. This is Kym here. For my card I have used the Polkadoodles image called "Ula be yourself". I have coloured in my image with Promarkers.

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal 
Hair - Chestnut, Henna and Walnut
Dress - Plum, Purple and Royal Blue.



Hi - It's Vic! Thought I would share the card I made for this challenge, with you.... The image is such a cutie. It's called "big bunch" and is from Polkadoodles. I loved colouring it with my alcohol pens. I felt such a super image didn't need a mega fussy background, so I fussy-cut around it, and just popped it on an embossed piece, which I inked slightly, along the edges and in the corners.
Alcohol pens used:
Spectrum noirs: DR6, PL3, TB8, HB2, GB9, GB11, JG5.
Promarkers: Lime Green, pastel blue, Vanilla,
Nuvo: Brown Sugar, Garlic Clove, Butterscotch.



Michelle - I have popped over to join in with the team this week,  I have used Daffodil, The Darling Buds on my card and she has been coloured with Copic markers!


Marjeta: Hello dear friends! Today I made a card with gorgeous Polkadoodles image , called 
Daffodil, Darling Buds. I colored it with Prismacolor penciles:
- Daffodil: Lemon Yellow, Canary Yellow, Spanish Orange, Burnt Ochre
Leaves: Green Light, Kelly Green, Olive Green
Background: Promarkers - Arctic blue, Cool aqua


Janet - My Polkadoddles image is called Helga Hippo Hello. I have coloured her with alcohol pens. I have decided to do the colouring vintage really. Mostly warm greys. With a bit of dusky pink and yellow. 


Ċ½eljka-Hello!!! For this week challenge I used adorable Helga Hippo - Fairy Princess and awesome papers from our fabulous sponsor Polkadoodles and colored the image with my ZIG clean color real brush markers.


Just fabulous as always ladies.

Shell here, with my first creation as an actual DT member....how cool is that! Thank you so much for asking me to stay, I'm so excited xx  Now for my card, I just love these quirky images from Bugaboo so thought I would have a play with one. I have used silver gilding flakes on the swirly bits & dots, but its looks like gold lol!!!
Full details are on my blog...The Camels Hump!


Sharon here with my card with I have coloured with one of my favourite products - sparkle pens. I wanted to get some dimension on my card so, as well as stamping direct on to the card, i also stamped some extra flowers on to cheap photo copy paper and painted them. Once they dry you get a surprisingly sturdy, delicate looking flowers with lovely curly petals. :-)
