Week 13 Anything Goes Colouring Challenge - Sponsored by Polkadoodles

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 Polkadoodles

Our sponsor is very generously giving the winner of this challenge the prize of 2 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.

Today I would like to show you my last project as a guest designer for the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog: on today's card I used the beautiful digital stamp from Polkadoodles called “Winnie Starfish Sandcastle - Float Away“. I printed the image onto some Copic friendly paper. Then I coloured the image with my Copic Sketch Markers.

Hi. It's Sharon here and I have decided to go with a new home theme for my card this time around. I love the sketchy style of this image and it was lovely to colour with my Copics. I have kept everything clean and simple , so that the focus is on the new house in the middle of the street!

Michelle - Morning or Afternoon (Depending on where in the world you are located). I have choose to create an birthday card using a digital stamp by Oddball Art called Kawaii Creature with Stars.
