It’s Friday and time for the Colour Crazy Challenge. This challenge is “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 my DT card features a sweet digi named Bella Bear with Lots of Parcels. I printed the digi on white cardstock and used Spectrum Noir Classique Markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen to add color, shading, and highlights. I fussy-cut the image, then adhered it to an upcycled calendar photo. The snowdrifts were created with simple torn paper, and a bit of “fur” was added with Polar White Flower Soft, which also added some texture to snowflakes drawn with a white gel pen.

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Polkadoodles named Bella Bear with Lots of Parcels.

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Inside Sentiment-Freebie from LoveSVG (All Hearts Come Home)

·   Snow on all surfaces (cap, scarf gifts, etc.)-Flower Soft Polar White you can find HERE

This colorful card features a digi and sentiments from Beccy’s Place digi sets an elegant-embossed background. (I found a 10 pack of notecards at a local thrift store. I cut one apart and used just the front to create a “ frame” on  the card front.) I attempted to create the look of rich Damask fabrics on the regal trio by coloring their cloaks with deep rich shades and adding patterns with metallic and clear sparkle gel pens.

The current challenge at All Dressed Up is named Celebrate, and when I found this silver word brad in my stash, I dug through my ADU digis to find a digi to help reflect a party feeling. This one, named Season to Sparkle that was a Giveaway at a Kit & Clowder Giveaway in seasons past is the perfect fit. Silver mirror paper and a silver crown sticker (with gems!), some sparkly stars, sentiments and a soft pastel color scheme will help to ring in 2022!  (PS If you haven’t joined the Kit & Clowder FB page, now is the perfect time to do that to pick up some great holiday digis (for free or at a reduced price) during the annual Advent Calendar of Crafts Giveaways!
