The Paper Funday Challenges - Anything Goes with Optional St. Patrick's Day

Hello and Happy 1st Wednesday of the new month.  That means a new challenge has started at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The theme this month is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist of St. Patrick's Day.  Out wonderful sponsor this month is the talented Jan's Digi Stamps and I was so excited to work with Beach Friends for my design team project. 

This stamp set is so reasonably priced for all the elements it contains.  This stamp set contains 6 color drawings, 6 Black and White drawings and 3 sentiments.  And these ladies are so fun!

My card measures 5" square and I didn't use any layers; I just colored the focal panel and adhered directly to my card base.  I also used one of the sentiments included in the set and put it all together in Publisher so the sentiment and images would print out as one.  I colored using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added some glitter here and there with my Gelly Roll Pen as well as adding Black Polka Dots with the Gelly Roll Glaze pen to one of the beach bags. 

I had a great time coloring this one up; I just zoned out and relaxed while coloring.  That's why I love to color...to me, it's so relaxing.

We hope you will join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenges.  We would love to have you and we hope to inspire you with our projects. 

Until next time,  Happy Crafting!

Cardz 4 Galz - March Hares

Hello Everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and the theme for this round is March Hares.  I had the perfect image to color up for my design team challenge and it fit well with the theme.

A sweet Hare carrying his big carrot; he's definitely ready for Spring as I'm sure most everyone else is as well.

I colored him with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and die cut two mats, used some Easter paper I had in my stash along with some pink sequins for some bling.  I also added some Wink of Stella Clear to the rabbits' nose and inside of the ears; the Wink is never picked up on camera :(  This card is a standard A2 size.

We hope you will join us for the challenge at Cardz 4 Galz; we'd love to have you.  I'd also like to remind you to stop by The Paper Funday Challenges this month for a fun challenge - Anything But a Card.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
