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!

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!

Hi.. Billie A. here with my card using the image Happy big eye girl Penelope.. I colored the image with copics.

I matted the image on a piece of scrap. I heat embossed the sentiment. I am not sure who it's by. It's an old acrylic set. I thought it went well with the fun image. 

Hello! Kathy here sharing a card that features Oddball Art's cute image, " Lazy Louise and Bathtime Bubble Friends."  You can find it HERE. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen.

Leaving the die in place, I blended ink to the stamp background. I matted the image onto pink card. The background, also matted onto pink card, is made from patterned glitter card by Deco Time. I added some sheer pink ribbon and some mulberry flowers that I dyed with Distress Ink. More details are on my blog here.

Hi, it is Lou here! I chose Lazy Louise Bathtime Bubble Friends by Oddball Art for my project. I digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured the image with Copics markers. I have kept it pretty simple - more details are on my blog here.

Hi! Hanna here. I've used Penelope # 3 by Oddball Art for this challenge. I've coloured her with Distress Inks.  I have used three different kind off coloured cardstock by Bazzill.

We are sad to say goodbye to Jane who leaves us this week - thank you for all your lovely creations over the years

Ruth:  I've used Summer Kitten and coloured it up with Promarkers.  The papers are from my stash and I've had them for some time (so I am using them up, slowly!)  I've layered the image onto a vellum die cut and then onto a larger one and raised the image with foam pads.  Charm, embroidery thread and half pearls all from my stash.

Hello,  Billie A. here using the fun image called Summer puppy.  I colored the image with copics and used Lil inker stitch die. I dug through my scraps and found these two papers. I layered the image and then stamped the Sugar Pea Designs sentiment and added a twine bow. I added some flower sequins with a seed bead inside. I finished with some Taylored Expressions clouds and Nuvo glitter pen.

Hello dear Crafters! Marjeta here! The image you see is one of the photo album pages I made for my granddaughter. To decorate I used cute Fabrica Fantasy image that I coloured with Prismacolor penciles. Colours I used: Creme, Beige, Yellow, Nectar, Burnt Ochre, Dark Brown, Light Peach.

In addition to the stamp, I also used the Crelando DP, edge cutter, Crafty Ribbons lace and a wooden dragonfly.

Silke here. For my card I used the sweet digi “Summer Kitten” from the sponsor Fabrika Fantasy. A flowered design paper was first applied to a card. The motif was coloured with copics, placed on a frame and then attached to the card. Now a green stripe with the flower border die was added, also  the hot embossed banner and some green faceted stones.

Hello Margaret here I have made a clean and simple card using Fabrika Fantasy digi stamp Summer Kitten which I have coloured with chalks and Primsmacolor pencils.  Added We are 3 Sentiment from Itty Bitty sentiment set

Hello! Kathy here sharing a card that features "Summer Kitten" from Fabrika Fantasy. You can find it HERE. I colored the adorable feline with Spectrum Noir markers and white gel pen. Used a new technique from Jennifer McGuire called a Ribbon Slider Card. It is surprisingly easy to make. You can find video instructions HERE. I'm providing two photos of the finished card so that you can see how it looks when slid to the "open" position.

Hello! Carole here sharing a card featuring Summer Puppy. I coloured this cute puppy with Copic markers and gave him a glossy nose and shiny eyes with Glossy Accents. His background is Fossilised Amber Distress Oxide inked through a hexagonal stencil.  The puppy, flower cluster and butterfly were fussy cut and  arranged onto the background. Strips of torn washi tape were used to ground the puppy. The 'Hello' sentiment is made from Tim Holtz Alpha Stickers. The white card was matted onto kraft card and popped onto a white card blank.

Hi! Hanna here. I've made a tag using Summer Puppy. Such a sweetheart. I've coloured him with Distress Inks and put some Glossy Accents on his little nose. The patterned paper is by Pion Design with the name Viol (Violet) from the Sagan om Våren (Fairytale of Spring) Collection.

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.
