Three Seasons

It’s Friday and time for the Colour Crazy Challenge. This challenge is “Anything Goes” but adds one requirement- the creation needs to include coloring in “any colouring medium you like, onto any project you like, and in any colours you like.” I’ve never outgrown my love for coloring… which is why making cards is stress therapy for me!!
This week’s sponsor is Oddball Art Co. and my card features a wonderful image- and message! I added shading to bold lettering to provide a bit of depth and colored the rainbow with pastel markers. Tiny teardrop rhinestones add sparkle to the raindrops and Stardust Stickles provide the rainbow a little magic. Cue the Munchkins, stage right!!

I’m entering this card into several challenges including the Outlawz Color/Photo Challenge (my card features a sky-like background and several of the colors in the balloon bunch.) 

  

Supplies: 
·   Digi- Oddball Art Co.  (Creepy Cute Rainstorms)
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Stickles- Star Dust (adding sparkles to the rainbow)
·   Cardstock, background papers and tiny teardrop rhinestones from my stash

This sweet digi from Beccy’s Place makes me think of the holidays. Bright colors, winter clothing, and being surrounded by loved ones!  I created the wintry background by stamping some pine trees (inking up just the tops of a Stampscapes scenery wood-mount with a green ink pad) onto a scrap of cloud stationery. I colored the Snow Folk with Spectrum Noir markers and a white gel pen, then cut them apart. After adhering two strips of white cardstock to the background, I attached the snow folks with foam tape, providing a bit of depth to the fence. The inside sentiment is from one of my favorite Beccy’s Place digi sets named Sugar and Spice. (I love those pudgy little gingerpeoples!) I'm entering my card into several challenges including Outlawz Wednesday Sketch (I followed all the key pieces but made it into a landscape format and reversed the items from it from right to left. So fun!)

When organizing my craft room I found a baggie full of chocolate kiss wrappers (not sure where they came from… ha!!) and decided to put them to use. I remembered making an iris fold chocolate kiss card, but I couldn’t find the pattern in my files, or on Pinterest. So, I just started flattening and folding the foil scraps until I had enough to line the inside of a kiss shaped cut out and taped them in place. The rest of the card went together pretty quickly with items from my stash and silver embossed sentiment (a retired stamp from Stampedous.)  I even tucked a little Hershey’s kiss tag into one of the folds on the point to add a bit of realism. So fun!

Supplies: 
·   Inside sentiment- Stampendous Wood Mount (retired)
·   Background papers and silver photo corners from my stash
·   Silver foil for iris folding- from a chocolate binge!
