So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  Welcome to Marja who is joining us as a Guest Designer for 3 months!  We say goodbye and thank you to Vannessa one of our current Guest Designers!

Ruth:  I got to use this cute Heart Balloon digi and coloured it with Promarkers plus some glitter glue on the balloon.  The papers are from Funky Hand - Just For Jen download and are no longer available; I've had these in my stash for a few years and I'm really trying to use up what I have!

Billie A here with my card using the fun image "heart balloon girl".. I created the clouds and ground with my template I created out of x-ray film. I then colored the image with copics. I added some dots to her cute dress with a white gel pen. I added some wink of Stella to the balloon and some bling to the flower centers in her hair.  The sentiment is from Simon says.  I used My favorite things stitch die and layered this on an embossed pink card stock.

Hello again, It's Jackie here with a card made with the gorgeous image by Lemon Shortbread called Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella and I coloured her with markers and pencils. I used some Graphic 45 Dps! You can see more details here.

Hello, Sherry here: I used the adorable 'Heart Balloon Girl' by Lemon Shortbread.

I printed the heart balloon twice and colored the images with colored pencils.Then cut out the girl with a frame die and fussy cut the extra heart balloon out. Put mounting tape on the back of the balloon and placed it over the original heart balloon. Cut out small balloon hearts on the background patterned paper, used the same die to cut out on another patterned paper to fill in the hearts. Placed a piece of the same patterned paper behind the image. Then made a bow with twine and glued it beneath the flower.

Hello Again, Sherry here: I used the adorable 'Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella' by Lemon Shortbread. I colored the image with colored pencils. Cut it out and inked around it with distress oxide. Then used a die to cut out a design on a piece of patterned paper.

Hello from Margaret I coloured Lemon Shortbread digi stamp Rainy Days girl with Umbrella with chalks, markers and gel pen.  Layered onto papers from We are 3 April Showers paper collection

added sentiment from We are 3 Spring Sentiment set

Hello. This is Kym here. For my "get well soon" card I have used the Lemon Shortbread image called "Rainy Days". I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and highlighted all the water drops with my Sakura Stardust Clear Pen. You can see more details of my card here.  The Promarkers that I have used are: 

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal 

Hair - Raw Sienna and Cocoa

Umbrella/coat/boots - Buttercup, Lemon, Yellow and Ice Grey 2.

Ground - Putty and Pastel Beige.

Silke here: First I wrapped a design paper with a ribbon before it was attached to the card. Now I place a yellow rectangle on it. For this card I chose the image Heart ballon girl from Lemon Shortbread, colored it with Copics and then I positioned it on the card.  The punched sentiment was attached beside the girl and afterwards several hearts in different sizes were distributed on the map.

Hello Marja here. I used the digi Rainy days girl with umbrella from Lemon Shortbread for this card. I colored her with my colored pencils.

Hi, Jolanda here. I have used Heart Balloon Girl, an image from Lemonshortbread.

I coloured the image with Copic markers. The card from Studio Light, the little dots are the leftovers from holes of the pink cards, I used white/pink twine in it. The little balloons on both sides are stamped with Memento ink.

Hello everyone. Vannessa here with my version of Heart Balloon Girl from Lemon Shortbread. I used Copic Markers to colour the scene and added some pretty flowers and gems to pull all the colours of her outfit together.

Ruth:  I've used an image from Jellypark which sadly is no longer available and I've coloured it with Promarkers, hand writing the sentiment.  The papers are from my stash and I've not got a clue where they came from as I printed them quite some time ago!

Hello... Billie A here with my card.  Since we don't have a sponsor I decided to go through some old stamps I haven't used yet.. This was a winning stamp from years ago by Wag N Whiskers. I stamped the image and colored with copics. I used a white gel pen to give some texture to the images. I went through some scraps and found some fun bright colors and pieced a background. The sentiment is also from this set. When it was done the background behind the image looked too plain so I used Stampin up itty bitty background dots

Hi everyone, Lynsey here, today I have decided to show you a card I created using a Sasayaki glitter image.  I was asked to do a special male card and loved creating this.  I have coloured all with copics and used DSP which came in a pack for the backgrounds.  I have just added some brads to add to the effect.   Hope you like it, happy new year colour crazy friends xx

Ching-Chou Kuik and is called Blue Sea Illusion.  For this card, I colored the image with Copic Markers and added Liquid Pearls in white and gold. I fussy cut the image and mounted on a die cut. The card is adorned with ribbon, flowers and butterflies.

Sentiment from We are 3 Birthday Wishes sentiment set

Janet here with my first challenge of 2019. I used the Sakura from Ching-Chou Kuik. I have coloured her with Polychromo Pencils and have gone for a vintage monotone colouring with greys. I have added lots of elements to this card in the way of die cuts, metal flowers and a big bow, but I think is adds to the vintage feel of the card.

Hi again - It's Vic. I have popped over to share with you my card this week. We have the lovely sponsor: Ching chou Kuik, and I got the image "Blue Sea Illusion."  A beautiful image to colour. I used my alcohol markers and simply added it into a new frame (cut and emboss folder) which I bought recently...
