Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have something fun planned for the weekend!  For me, it's going to be spent scrambling around with last minute preparations for Christmas.  I am so far behind this year.  I haven't even mailed out any Christmas cards yet.  I have never been so late with things!  Anyway, before working on my cards, I am here with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is a color/photo inspiration.  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your card.

Here is the color inspiration photo, courtesy of Design Seeds:


Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Wassail collection.  The whimsical image is Fairy Celandine from Make it Crafty.  I turned her into a Christmas fairy!  I colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A couple of 3-D poinsettia stickers and a few pearls finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Friday Coloring Challenge (on Tuesday)

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope you had a good weekend and a great start to your week. Is anyone but me freaking out that Christmas is only a little more than a week away?  Of course, I am not prepared in the least and I have so much going on right now that I know I will be rushing at the last minute.  Anyway, I am here, although a few days late, with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is "gifts/gift packaging".  Perfect for those last minute cards or gift-card holders, right?  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project to enter.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the American Crafts Merrymint 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Aurora Christmas Card by The East Wind.  Let's just say there was a gift card inside!  I colored her with my Copics and added some Polar White Flower Soft to her ear muffs.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few festive stocking stickers finished my card.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and you have something fun planned for the upcoming weekend! The weather here will be pretty and sunny, although cool, so it will be nice to be out and about.  Last week it was pouring down rain a good part of the weekend. No fun!  Before getting on with the day, I am here to post my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme this week is "let it snow".  Very fun for making cards, but I definitely don't want it to actually do so here!

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Blue Bayou and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Winter Fun 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is Moon of Wintertime by Elaine Cox.  It was available from Sweet Pea Stamps before they closed last week.  I colored it with my Copics, then added a bit of Star Dust Stickles to the snowflakes.  A stitched ribbon bow and a couple of white glitter paper die cuts finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
