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.

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 Ruby Prom and coloured her with Promarkers.  The papers are all offcuts from my stash and I've used the Bubblecious Frame die and cut out the centre, adding dots of liquid pearls.

Hello... Billie A. here with my card using the image called Flying a kite. I used copics to color the image and to create the scene. I swiped the Ranger blending brush across the sky so it looked like windy clouds. I layered this piece on a Basic Gray designer paper. I then tied a twine along the bottom edge and added some red scraps so it mimics the kite tale. I used Rubber baby sentiment. I thought this was funny sentiment since the kite is being launched. 

It's me again.. Billie A.. I am adding a second card. I am using the image called Lil Miss and her text sentiment.. I colored her with copics and used My favorite things circle die. I found this fun texted background and thought it went well with the image. I used MFT banner die and chalked the edges with some Quick Quote ink. I finished with some acrylic hearts.

Helloooooo, it's Jackie here. I used the image PIRATE DUDE from our fabulous sponsor POLKADOODLES! I added the partner sentiment Pirate Dude. I coloured with pencils & chalks. The Dp's are First Edition. A button and border finish. You can see more HERE.

Hi, Silke here. For my card I used the Digi "Flying a kite" from the sponsor Polkadoodles. First, the card was embossed with a wooden embossing folder.  For the background a paper with shimmering alcohol colours was used. The motif was coloured with copics, than punched out and placed in the middle of the card. Now, the sun, clouds, grass, flowers and the banner dies  were added.

Hi its Margaret I have used Polkadoodles digi stamp and sentiment Gamer Dude.which I have coloured with Prismacolor pencils and red glitter gel pen and the papers that came with the stamp.

You can buy this as the single stamp set or your can buy the Little Dudes Big Kahuna bundle which has 21 black and white and 21 precoloured characters plus sentiments and 3 papers for each character.

I bought the bundle as it is great value.

Hello! Kathy here sharing a card that features an adorable image from Polkadoodles named, "Winnie Float Away." You can find it HERE. I colored the little cutie with Spectrum Noir markers, a brown fine line watercolor marker, and a white gel pen. The sentiments on the  front and inside of the card are from a Whimsy digi set named "Vintage Sentiments." You can find it HERE. Summer? Bring it!

Kathy again, I liked the PolkaDoodles  images this week so much that I asked to make a second card using "Pirate Little Dude." You can find it HERE. The image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers, a white gel pen, and a micro-fine black watercolor marker. The sand and waves are created with torn paper. I also added a strip of plastic netting that I upcycled from a bag of citrus. Love the texture that it adds to the card. [The sentiments on the front and inside of the card are also from this versatile set.]

     

Hi Dawn Frost here with a card I made using Little Miss Sugar Pops Tech. I coloured her with

copic markers and cut her out to pop up. I embossed the background with tiny triangles so it matched

the frame, added pearls and a ribbon with a word die, very simple!

Hi, Lynne GDT here with my final card using the cute Gamer Dude.  I've coloured him with copics and used papers from my stash.  Die cut stars and a sentiment have also been added.

Hi you all, Margo here with my first card for this week, I have to admit I absolutely fell in love with this cute Winnie Starfish sitting on the dock.  I have coloured her with my copic markers and choose not to add anything else, just the focus on the digi and no text, this way I can use it for several occasions. 

And Margo back again, to show you my second card for this week with the supercute Gamer Little Dude I have coloured him with my copic markers too and used the coördinating backing paper and funny sentiment.   Added some buttons from my stash and he's ready ! 

Good Morning / Afternoon Coloring enthusiasts.. AJ here. Showcasing Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime - New Bonnet, a Polkadoodles Digital Stamp. Please visit my blog post @ New Spring Bonnet for more details .. 

Hi Janet here, I've used Polkadoodles Winnie Starfish Float Away. She just makes you want to go on holiday. I've coloured here using Polychromo pencils. I've kept the background sort of seaside colours with matching ribbon and some candy dots.

Hi! Hanna here with a lollipop card using the cute Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles - Float Away. I've coloured her with Distress Inks and put some Glossy Accents on her sunglasses. The patterned paper is by Maja Design and is called The West Coast.

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!

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.
