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

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

Jane - I have used the super cute Summer Puppy on my birthday card today; colouring with Copics and chalk. More details and colours used on my blog.

Hi, Lynne here - I have used the cute Summer Kitten from Fabrika Fantasy, coloured with copics. I have added various dies and the sentiment is computer generated. Full details can be found on my blog.

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.

Just fabulous as always!

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.

Ruth:  I've used both images provided (because I couldn't decide which one to use!) and first up is Boy Playing Video Game which I've coloured with a combination of Promarkers and watercolour pencils.  Papers are from a no longer available collection from Funky Hand and the sentiment is a magazine freebie.

And I've used Mermaid Monster, coloured with watercolour pencils and I've used Echo Park splash papers plus waxed coloured cord and buttons from my stash.

Billie A:  I am pleased to be using the fun image from Kinda Cute called Game Boy Playing.  He is kinda cute huh?. I started by putting a wooden plank floor under him with copics and a sharpie pen. I then added a green wall. Next I colored the image with copics. The sentiment is from Simon Says and I embossed it.  I used a Versa Mark pen to fill in the DUDE so it was darker. 

Hi! Hanna here. I'm using a digi today called Boy Playing Video Games. He is such a cutie! I have chosen the one with his tongue sticking out because my husband looks the same when he's playing video games. I couldn't resist couldn't I! ;) The card is also for him so it's a perfect match!  I coloured him with Distress Inks and added some Glossy Accents to the glasses. I've tried to use the same colours as in the patterned paper. 

Shell here with my latest make. I just love the cute images by Patricia at Kinda Cute. I use my Faber-Castell polychromo pencils to colour this cutie. I hope you like what I have done with it. You will find further details on my blog....The Camels Hump!

Jane - I have used the fabulous Boy Playing Video Games for my card and coloured him with Copics. The background was created with watercolour pens and pigment powders. All the colours are listed on my blog.

Welcome to Hanna who joins us for a 3 month Guest Designer spot!
Also, we say goodbye to Julia who is stepping down from the team - thank you for all your support and wonderful creations!

Hello.  This Kym here.  For my card I have used the seahorse and seaweed images from the "Emma the Mermaid and Friends Set".  I have coloured the images in with Promarkers.  I have used a Viva Declor blue pen to add some pearl drops to the seahorse.  I have fussy cut the seahorse and the seaweed.

For the background I have various Spectrum Aqua pens and scribbled on my glass mat, spritzed with water and whooshed the card around.  I kept repeating this until I'd got the effect I wanted.  I then got a darker blue pen, spritzed and then used a scrap of bubble wrap to make it resemble water bubbles in the water.  The Promarkers I have used are:

Seahorse - Canary, Yellow, Sunflower, Duck Egg Blue and Denim Blue

Seaweed - Duck Egg and Turquoise and Cool Grey 2.

Sue N  -  I used 5 x 7 cream card, used dark blue, light blue card to mount the image on to.  added blue shaped card in each corner, finished of with blue gems, school bag button coloured with blues, browns, skin colours promakers pens

Hello! Hanna here. I'm exited to share my first card with you as I'm going to be a guest designer for a couple of months. I coloured the image, Happy Flowers, by Fred She Said with Distress inks. I used some soft colours to colour the flowers like Victorian Velvet, Shabby Shutters and Milled Lavender - fits perfect with the patterned papers by Bildmålarna.

Hi Shell here with my latest creation, using one of our sponsors images Called 'Happy Flowers' 

I have used my trusty Promarkers & faber-Castell pencils to colour. I used an oval blank when running my embossing folder through my machine, it just gives some space on the background so it doesn't over power the image. You will find full details on my blog.... 

The Camels Hump!

Jane - I have used Nolan With Heart for my card today, cutting away the heart to make a shaker element!  I coloured the cute Nolan with Copics and the colours are listed on my blog.

Ruth:  I couldn't decide which image to use so I've gone with both!  First up is Nolan with a sign and he's been coloured with Promarkers and I handwrote my own sign

Just fabulous as always ladies.
