It’s Friday and
time for the Colour Crazy Challenge. This challenge is an “Anything Goes” but
it adds a 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 Polkadoodles and I’m sharing fun card that features a digi image from Polkadoodles named Gnometastic Birthday Cake.
I colored the handsome guy with Spectrum Noir Classique Markers and a
Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. To provide the card with a crisp, clean
feeling, I kept the number of colors used to a minimum, leaving lots of white
space, including a hand-drawn candle glow made with my trusty white gel pen! A
strip of a checked paper napkin provides a nice base to reinforce the food
theme and the humorous inside sentiment adds a bit of reality to the card. (Heh
heh!)

Colored with Spectrum

This card features a beautiful image named “Bridal Veil” from Cute
As A Button’s June Progressive Challenge. A friend’s son is getting married
next month, and I decided to make a special card for her future daughter in
laws bridal shower. I tried to match her hair and eye color, and used lots of
elegant items including silver paper, satiny tan cardstock with flocked black
swirls and a piece of antique lace. Because every bride-to-be needs some bling,
I added a sprinkling of tiny rhinestones on her veil, and in her earring, I
added a single rhinestone, slightly larger and a lovely pale blue to match her
eyes! (I added a closeup pic of this bling.)Note- I'm not very happy with the roses, as I had the great idea of using a layer of white pencil on top of the alcohol markers, thinking it would give the petals a velvety sheet. Didn't work as well as I'd hoped, and caused the white gel pen to smudge. "Fixing" them only made a bigger mess. So... I've convinced myself that they look a bit ethereal?! :)

Several months ago I was the random winner of a sweet digi set from
a Coni Fong FB contest! (If I remember correctly, I squealed with delight when
I read about my win!) I colored, fussy-cut and adhered the little cutie (named Lonny)
onto cloudy sky scrapbook paper. The pretty balloons (on front and inside) were created with scraps of plastic index divider sheets. (These wonderful items- sometimes called
document file folders- come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in
the office supply section of most stores and occasionally even at Dollar Stores. They're cheaper than colored vellum
and more translucent. Punches and dies don’t work on these sheets, but they are
easy to fussy-cut with a sharp pair of scissors after tracing shapes on them
with a black permanent fine-line marker.) The balloons are attached with just a
little bit of snail adhesive, then I added bows and strings with the permanent
fine-line marker. The sentiments are computer-generated.

Hi Kathy all your cards are gorgeous. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteVisiting your blog is always a treat, Kathy. Your bride-to-be card is exquisite! I love what you've done with her veil and earring, and I think your roses are spectacular! Your lace is the perfect addition to give this a softness for the occasion, and I love your sentiment banner. Thanks for sharing this with us at Cute As A Button and for using one of our images. We hope to see you again.
