Classic Design Challenge - May/June 2026

Hello! It's time for a new challenge month at The Classic Design Challenge Blog, and our sponsor this month is the talented and generous Moondrea Designs. For my team project, I've chosen to use Proteas Queen.  Isn't she lovely? 


I'll admit that images from Moondrea Designs intimidate me.  They are detailed and I always feel out of my comfort zone coloring them, however it's a good thing to step outside our comfortable boxes and try something new.  I've approached this image by coloring in small segments and that made it much easier for my brain to wrap around.  


I've used alcohol markers to color her and dug out my color wheel for this project.  I just couldn't put together coordinating colors in my mind, and the color wheel is great for that!  I've cut the focal panel using nesting scalloped edge dies from Catherine Pooler.  The sentiment is from the Small Talk strip pack by Tim Holtz and has been popped on foam pads.  

No bells and whistles added to her, other than a bit of highlights using a clear Gelly Roll glitter pen (which is not visible in the photos).

The team and I hope you'll visit and share your creative makes this month.  And don't be intimidated by detailed images, coloring this one was relaxing once I settled in and was the perfect craft for a Friday night.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Classic Design Challenge Apr/May 2025 - Gina Cupcake

Welcome Back Friends! In my second post for today, it's time to announce a new challenge month at The Classic Design Challenge Blog.  The challenge theme is Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist.  The twist this month is Feminine, and our generous sponsor is Moondrea Designs. I've chosen to color the sweet Gina Cupcake digital stamp for my DT project.


I've used alcohol markers to color Gina and her cupcake, the patterned papers are from Craft Consortium, the sentiment is from Cardz TV, and dies from Hero Arts have been used for the panels and sentiment.


Gina has been fussy cut and popped on foam pads, along with the sentiment, for dimension and lastly, blue sequins added to complete the design.  The team and I hope you'll link your projects this month.  We love seeing everyone's projects and always get inspiration for all the entries.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
