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 we don't have a sponsor but do have some blog candy to giveaway to one lucky entrant who meets all our rules! 

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.

Also don't forget we are also always looking for people to guest spot on our DT. So if you would like to be considered as a GDT, after your name on your entry add the letters GDT.

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

Ruth:  I've used a no longer available cute Jellypark image for a teacher thank you card which I've coloured with Promarkers and then added to the card blank with foam pads.  I've scored a border around the edge of the card and added a little ruler and apple charm along with bakers twine from my stash.


Hello, Billie A here. I am a Guest designer for July. I have chosen to use My favorite things images for my card. Perfect for summer cards.  I created the background with Kuretake Gansi paints and cellophane. I colored the images with Mission gold paint and added some pearls for the bubbles.



Hello, Mary here. The image I am using is Butterflies of Hope by Hannah Lynn I used papers of orange matted onto blue and some butterfly paper from my stash. I stamped the sentiment and added blue sequins. I added a die cut a butterfly in black and orange. I have used Spectrum Noir pens Skin TN2, TN4, FS2, FS8, FS9, CR6 Hair TB3, TB5, TB7 Butterfly OR3, OR2, OR1 CT3



Janet - I quite like this image I've used it a few times now. It's a Kenny K image called bow. I've coloured her with alcohol pens. I've put her on to some colour matched floral papers. The sentiment is die cut.


Marjeta - My daughter surprised me with gorgeous Tim Holz stamps. I used one of my favorite image and colored with Promarkers: Lemon, Gold, Lipstic red and Arctic blue. For background I used DP from my stash and added a few snippets. For final touch I put feathers on birds tail.


Melle Clef : I made this lovely card with a freebie from Leann's World 101 progressive challenge. The girl looks so confident I will give this card to a friend who just had a great success. I colored her with watercolor markers.


Hiya! I'm back already - Vic.   This week, I have chosen to use this super-cute little image from Little Miss Muffet...it's called "Elisa's kitty."  Its a wonderful image to colour. I used all the promarker grey alcohol pens I have - numbers 1 - 5....and did lots of blending! I particularly love the little scarf round his neck. Such a lovely little addition. The stamped sentiment was from a set of stamps I found recently in a charity shop, for 25p! I do love a bargain! The scalloped circle die is from The Works... a fab little set of dies for only £3. Another bargain! Faux stitching and inking, finished the edges of the backing card...


Just fabulous as always ladies.

And I've used Dottie Baking, again coloured her with Promarkers along with papers from my stash and ribbons and a cute birthday cake charm.


Hello.  This is Kym  here.  For my card I have used a gorgeous unicorn image from the "Birthday Unicorn Set 02" and I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and highlighted the balloon the the unicorn's eyelids with a gold Graphmaster pen.  The Promarkers I have used are:

I printed and colour the image and added it to black card. I used a football SVG file to make the football and stamped 'Happy Birthday' directly to the card.
Hello, Billie A - guest designer.. I am using the fun image called Baking Dottie . I colored her with Copics. I then used Simon Says wonky die to cut her out. For the background paper I used Amy Tangerine paper. I added bakers twine from My minds eye. I stamped the Simon Says sentiment and the apple and fussy cut the apple out. I added some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the pie crust and apple slice...


Sharon:  Hi it's Sharon and I decided to use this fabulous Cats Topper for my card. I just love the look on their faces! I coloured my cats using Spectrum Noirs - I wanted a couple of ginger cats in there for brightness, as I wanted some nice bright backing papers to make a nice 'happy' card.

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

Ruth:  I've used Bev The Barmaid on my creation, coloured with Promarkers and papers from my stash (I actually stuck it on the wrong way - wanted vertical stripes but by the time I'd realised it was too late.....)

Hello this is Mary The image I am using is Summer Holiday I printed and coloured the image twice so I could decoupage some of the elements. I have used Spectrum Noir pens. Skintone TN1. T Shirt and Bandanna DR1. For the Suitcases TN4, GB8, EB3. Camper Van IB2. Chrome and Facial Hair BG1, IG4, IG5. Grey and Brown Staedtler fineline pen

Hi - It's Vic! I've chosen to join this extra challenge this week - 
Dr Digi is the sponsor and i know my Dad would LOVE a card with this 2cv citroen image!
I wanted to keep it simple, so kept the rest of the card monotone, in kraft card.
The stars were cut on my bigshot and are actually in an antique gold... but it's hard to see that on the photograph. The "dad" is actually cut from a "happy birthday" die - I love to get lots of uses out of one item! 
I coloured the image with a mixture of my pens - promarkers, and spectrum noirs. 
The background was run through an embossing folder on my bigshot, too. 



Just fabulous as always ladies.

Week 21 Anything Goes Colouring Challenge - Sponsored by The Paper Shelter

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 we are very kindly sponsored by The Paper Shelter


Our sponsor is very generously giving the winner of this challenge the prize of 3 single digis from their store.

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.

Also don't forget we are also always looking for people to guest spot on our DT. So if you would like to be considered as a GDT, after your name on your entry add the letters GDT.

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

Hello Mary here.The image I am using is Businessman and the gorgeous paper that came with it. I used an SVG file for the phone. I have used Spectrum Noir pens DG2, CG3, CG4 for the tie. BG8, BG9 for the suit. GG2 for the shirt and trainers. EB3, GB1, GB3 for the hair .TN3, CR3 for the skin. Phone and buttons silver metallic pen. Buckles - yellow sharpie


Ruth:  I couldn't decide which of the sponsor images to use so I went for them both!  Both have been coloured with Promarkers the Businessman and The Great Baker and I've used papers I found in my stash as I've been having a clear out and need to use up my scraps!




Penny  - I colored this Businessman image from The Paper Shelter with Copic markers. E00, E11, E15, E18, Y28, 0 Blender, N4, R20, N8, BG72, BG75, Precise v7 Black pen.  Working 4 A Living, hand-colored yellow background, Cricut Cut Working 4 A Living on the Cricut, Covered 2 levels with business dots fancy pants paper one strip of rick-rack.  Happy Labor Day inside. Uniball White Gel Pen



NanaConnie here and I used "The Great Baker" from The Paper Shelter.  I used the following ProMarkers:
Hair, skin, and book: Canary, Buttercup, Mustard, Pale Pink, Carnation
Clothing: Cool Gray 2 and 5, Denim Blue
Furniture:  Caramel, Cinnamon, Cool Gray 5, Gold, Black, Silver Metallic
Bowl and whisk:  Cool Aqua, Silver Metallic
Background: Ivory, Blush, Cinnamon
The background was cut with a die from Memory Box and the image with a CUTplorations die.

Janet - I've used a Paper Shelter image I have had for a while Called Tucan.  I have coloured him with Tria alcohol pens. I have had to add all my usual layers and some tropical coloured flowers just to make him feel at home.


Tammy -  I too have used the Paper Shelter Businessman image.  I decided to make a simple Happy Retirement card.  I did some basic copic coloring.  My DP is the Petticoats and Pinstripes 6x6 paper pack from Echo Park that I've had for awhile and not really used very much! It was nice to give it a run.  I used a couple of die cuts - the CC Designs oval to cut out the image and mat and then I used the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hillside Borders to give an edge to one of the papers.  I knew I wanted to keep this card simple so the stitched edge just adds a bit of dimension.  The sentiment is Milestone Moments by Stampin' Up. 


Just fabulous as always ladies.
