Colour Crazy Challenge - Strawberry Fields

Hello and Happy Friday!  Today begins a new bi-weekly challenge at the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog and our sponsor this round is the Cute and Creepy Oddball Art Co.  For my team project, I've colored the Strawberry Fields Digi Stamp and created a 5.5" square Birthday card.

I die cut the focal image and mat using nesting circle dies from Kat Scrappiness.  The papers are a digital download set from Polkadoodles and the sentiment was computer generated by me.

I've followed a card sketch I found by Googling "Square Card Sketches".  I utilize sketches when I've run out of ideas and my card layouts start looking the same.  I love this image, it's nicely drawn and an easy color. 

I popped the main focal image and sentiment strips on craft foam for dimension and added light blue gems for a finishing touch.  It's hard for me to call a card finished without adding gems and enamel dots, what are your "must haves" on your projects?

Please visit us at Colour Crazy this round, we so enjoy seeing all the entries.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Oddball Art

Hello and Happy Friday!  It's finally the start of a great weekend and time for a new challenge at Colour Crazy Craft Challenges.  The theme is Anything Goes and our generous sponsor this week is Oddball Art.  For my design team project this week, I had to color up Monday Morning by Oddball Stamps.

Frazzled Fran is feeling the Monday Morning Blues and this image just spoke to me as I am truly one of "those people"....don't speak to me until I've had my first cuppa :)

This image set comes with 3 different sentiments.  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, the designer papers are from a Alina Crafts paper stack and for a final touch I added sequins from my stash.

Please join us this week at Colour Crazy Craft Challenge with your projects.  We hope to inspire you with ours and would love to see yours.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Naughty List by Oddball Art for Colour Crazy Craft Challenge

 Happy Fri-Yay!  It's time for a new challenge at the Colour Crazy Craft Challenge.  The sponsor for this round is Oddball Art Co. and for my design team project, I created a Christmas Card using the Christmas Elf with Long Naughty List.

I don't create with Oddball Art images very often and I have to admit, I was a bit intimidated with this image as the areas are small and thin for my coloring style.  Meaning not much surface area for large shading parts however, once I started, I found this image to be an easy color.  I enjoyed this one and I think she's cute colored up with traditional Holiday colors.  She has a very long naughty list and I looked to see if my name was on it...it's not...Whew!

Please join us at Colour Crazy Craft Challenges, we would love to see your makes and hope to inspire you with ours.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #460 - Anything Goes

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  I hope your holiday preparations are going smoothly, we only have 14 more Sleeps until Father Christmas comes!

Today starts a new challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges and our sponsor this week is the cute and quirky OddBall Art.  For my design team project this week I've had the pleasure of working with the adorable image Chilly Willy.  I'm still working on Christmas Cards so I was so happy to color him up with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers for one of my last cards this season.

This card measures the standard A2 (4.25" x 5.5"), I cut some snowflakes out of silver mirror card for accents and heat embossed the sentiment with Ranger Gold Embossing Powder.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and the designer papers are from The Paper Studio 12"x12" paper stack titled Ornamental Christmas.  For the final touch, I added some clear Ranger Stickles on his hat tie and his scarf.

Please visit us this week at Penny's and share your creation for a chance to win some images from OddBall Art.  The team and I hope to inspire you with our projects and to be inspired by yours.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #398 - Santa's Letter

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new weekly challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges and this weeks' sponsors are Star Stampz and Odd Ball Art Co.

The image I used for my project is from Star Stampz and she is such a cute image, mailing her wish list to the North Pole for Santa to read and hopefully fill on Christmas Day. 

I added lots of visual interest to this card with ribbon, bow, snowflakes and patterned papers.  The image is colored up with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the card measures 5" x 5" tent folding.

I hope you will play along this week at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges and enter for your chance to win some cute images from our sponsors.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #390 - Design Team Project

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog.  It's challenge #390 and the theme is Anything Goes.

The sponsors for the challenge this week are Just ME Digital Stamps and Odd Ball Art.  The images from both of the sponsors are super awesome and I had the privilege of using the Snowbuddies image from Just ME Digital Stamps.

Oh my goodness, these Snowbuddies are adorable and I couldn't resist coloring them up with Sepctrum Noir Alcohol Markers and adding a brilliant product named Snow Tex to create the snowy ground.  I added some faux stitching to create a border and didn't feel it needed much else so we can call it complete.

I'm getting a jump start on my holiday cards and since it's still July - this card is technically a Christmas in July project *wink wink

As a reminder - please don't forget to visit the Challenges for Days Birthday Bash Post to leave a comment as well as leaving your comment on my Birthday Blog Post for a chance to win some awesome prizes.

I hope you were inspired and will visit our sponsors to see the wonderful images they have to offer.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
