It’s Friday and time for the Colour Crazy Challenge. This challenge is also 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 Mirtillamente and my DT card features a digi named Crazy Paw Monkey.  I colored the primate with Spectrum Noir Classique Markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen, plus added highlights to his piercings with a silver gel pen.  The sentiment, that I feel compliments the quirky image, is computer generated.

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Mirtillamente (Crazy Paw Monkey)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Cardstock, leaf patterned paper, Fiskars Victorian Scroll Edge Scissors, and other items from my stash.

My next card features a fun winter digi that makes me smile… mainly because I have memories of being this bundled up as a kid so I could go out and play on beautiful snowy days! My siblings and I spent hours sledding, ice-skating, and building snowmen and snow forts during my childhood. I still love being outside in the winter, walking or snowshoeing while enjoying nature!

My final card this post includes a sweet little elf from a Beccy’s Place digi set, cooking up a batch of gingerbread cookies. I added lots of patterns, textures, and depth to the card with stickers, patterned paper piecing (apron), and foam mounting tape. I especially like the cookies on the cookie sheet. They have such cute little dough-bellies!
