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 Little Blue Button Stamps

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 Coffee Love and coloured her with Promarkers.  The papers are from Funky Hand Now That's Funky cd and are no longer available.  The buttons are from my stash.  I've cut the Hello sentiment die (Polkadoodles) with offcuts of card from my stash to match the colours in the papers.

Hello.. Billie A. here with my card using the fun image called Coffee lovers. This set comes with some sentiments and other coffee related images. I decided just to use the girl image. I colored her with copics. I then fussy cut her out. I took some Kraft cardstock and Hampton background stamp and stamped using Stampin up ink. I then cut the image down so no borders and went around the edged with Ranger ink. I then layered this on a scrap of Quick Quote designer paper. I took a piece of white paper and using Ranger ink smeared this on the scrap and flicked with water. I then stamped the Stamp Simply sentiment and used SU tag die. I took twine and tied a bow and added to the tag and finished my card with some sequins.

Hiya, Jackie here! Loved this image so much I joined in even though it isn't my week to post! I used the Little Blue Button image called Coffee Lovers. I coloured her with pencils and fussy cut her and the coffee cup. I cut an aperture out of some Kanban card. I layered behind with First Edition Dp. I added banners with more RE Dp and added a Craftwork paper bow. More details can be seen here. 

Hello! Kathy here sharing a card that features "Coffee Lover." One reason I love working with digis is that you can change their size. For this card, I placed part of the enlarged image onto a background that I created by repeating one of the sentiments. Colored the coffee diva with luscious shades of brown, plus gray and a shout of aqua.  Oh… and just had to add some coffee colored enamel dots. 

I liked the images this week so much that I asked to make a second card using "Sweet Geisha Charlie."  

Colored the image of Charlie with Spectrum Noir markers and paper pieced her lovely tailored sheath dress with Japanese Yuzen Chiyogami Paper. The sentiment is from a Tiddly Inks set named "Beary Sweet." 

Hello this is Margaret.  I printed Little Blue Button stamp Sweet Geisha Charlie onto white card, cut out, coloured with markers and layered onto doily and then onto Japanese paper.  Added flower brads and layered all onto red card.

Hi there, it's Margo, I have used Sweet Geisha Charlie from our sponsor Little Blue Button Stamps and coloured her with my Copic Markers.  I have used a paper doily, a piece of lace and a twine with some transparent flowers.

Silke: For my card I used the sweet picture Sweet Geisha Charlie from Little Blue Button Stamps. First I embossed a hot pattern and then put it on the card.  For the background, the sky and the ground were watercolored and then the paper was placed in the middle of the card. The image was coloured  with Copics, was cut out and fixed with Dimenionals. Now a plant die cut and a flower branch with lanterns were added. At the end the sentiment was embossed hot and fixed on the card and the flowers were decorated with glitter stones.

Hello, Sherry here using the beautiful 'Sweet Geisha Charlie' from 'Little Blue Button Stamps'.

For my card I colored the image with colored pencils. Cut out the image with a frame die. Embossed a piece of grey cardstock then used a die to cut out a flower pattern. Went around the paper with a distressing tool. Then put distress ink around the image, card, vines and on the embossed paper. Used a paper crimper on a piece of red cardstock and taped it behind the grey. Taped the papers together and taped the image onto the card. Added some red ink to the flower petals. Glued the vines and flower on. Then glued on the small butterflies and added the butterfly sticker.

Hello, Lynne GDT here with my card using the gorgeous Sweet Geisha Charlie from Little Blue Button. I have coloured her with copics and added branch and symbol stamps from my stash. 

Jane - I have also used the super cute Sweet Geisha Charlie for my card, colouring her with Copics.

Hi! Hanna here with a tri shutter card this time using this cute digi stamp called Sweet Geisha Charlie. I've coloured her with Distress Inks and I've used both Stickles in Star Dust and Glossy Accents on the flowers in her hair and on her dress. The papers are from the Dear Heart Collection by Basic Grey.

Jane here, Guest Designer, I had a play with the Coffee Lover digi set from Little Blue Button Stamps

I have coloured her with Promarkers & Niutop pencil, matted and layered onto papers from Nitwit collections.  

Carole here with Coffee Love from Little Blue Button Stamps. She is coloured with Copics and a few white Posca pen highlights. I popped her on foam pads on top of a blended Distress Oxide background which had some water spritzed on to bleach out some colour. More DO was applied through a stencil to give a bit more texture to the background.

So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  We'd like to welcome Helen and Dawn S as our Guest Designers!

Hello, Billie A. here with my card using the cute image called Murphy takes a nap. I fussy cut him out and then colored the image with copics. I used Basic gray designer paper for the background. The sentiment is from My favorite things and I thought the wall needed a photo so I used Tech. Tues. dies and found a cute mom and child scrap of paper. I finished with a few pearls.

Hello - it's Helen here with my first GDT card.  I'm sharing a card using the very cute Pip hedgehog relaxing in the sun!  I've coloured the digi image using Promarkers and used one of my favourite colour combinations of red and kraft - I chose the patterned paper to match the mushrooms!

Maria : For this Challenge I made a card with Murphy Takes Nap colored with the copic. The stamp has been blended with Distress Oxide forest moss.The sentiment has been embossed with the Ranger Tan powder this color matches everywhere ...On the bone I applied Wink of stella.

Hi Dawn Frost here, I've created a card with Murphy takes a Nap and made it a pick me up card. I used copic markers to colour him and popped up his paws and bone. The background was created with Paw Print embossing folder which I sponged over. I added ribbons and its done!

Hello, It's Sherry here with a card I made using the adorable 'Pip' by Createful Heart Designs. The image is colored with colored pencils. I crimped a piece of red cardstock with a paper crimper for the background and used a distressing tool and distressed ink around the card, paper and image. Taped the paper and image onto the card, then glued on the vine, twine bow and flower.

Hello.  It's Dawn here with my first GDT card for the Colour Crazy Challenge.  I used Pip the Hedgehog from Createful Heart Designs.  The image is coloured with my Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils and the background is done with Pan Pastels.  The backing paper is from a Lili of the Valley pad by Raspberry Road Designs called Baskets and Bunnies.  Sadly I don't think you can get them any more.  I added a sentiment done on the computer and a few flowers to finish off.

Hi there, it's Margo showing you this card I made with the relaxing PIP the Hedgehog from Createful Heart Designs , isn't he adorable ? I haven't used a sentiment yet, I think I will keep him for when someone retires.  I have coloured PIP with my Copic markers and used some paterned papers and according cardstock. Kept the card simple as not everyone likes flowers and things on the card. 

Just fabulous as always!

Hi again, Vic here, sharing my card for this challenge. The paper shelter let me use this lovely image this week - it's called "Unicornmania."  I thought it would be perfect for my friends little girl, who is turning 4 soon. I didn't want to add a lot of other embellishments on this card, as she would probably pick them all off! Lol. I printed the sentiments and her name, on the pc, and added some glitter  on her name, age and unicorn mane and tail.

Hello.. Billie A here with my card using the Bugaboo image called Kidz girl baseball dog. I started by digging in my scrap box and found these scraps so created the background. I then colored the image with copics. I layered the image on a piece of light gray but didn't like it after I saw it so I removed the image and with Ranger ink went around the edge and reapplied the image. I stamped the Tech. Tuesday sentiment.
