Colour Crazy Challenge Blog - Friday 19 March 2021

It is time for another challenge over at the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog.

The weekly topic is always "anything goes".

This week we are lucky to be sponsored by Oddball Art.
For my card I have used the Oddball Art digital stamp called "Monday Mornings Frazzled Fran Needs her Coffee Image No 154". I laughed when I saw one of the sentiments and I had to use this image and sentiment "don't even talk to me til I've had my coffee!" as this is certainly me EVERY morning!!

I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and the backing is done with Pan Pastels.  Around the edge I have used a brown Versafine Clair ink pad with a coffee ring stamp to add a bit more detail to to the background.

I have used various The Works purple paper scraps and a coffee bean paper given to me in a K&Co paper pad some years ago.

I have finished the card off with a LOTV digital sentiment, raffia ribbon and a circle die-cut border.

Colour Crazy Challenge Blog - Friday 11 December 2020

It is time for Team A's last challenge for 2020 over at the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog.

The weekly topic is always "anything goes".

This week we are lucky to be sponsored by "Oddball Art".

For my Christmas easel card I have used the Oddball Art digital stamp called "Christmas Elf with Long Naughty List - Image No 353".

I have coloured the image in with Promarkers.  I then printed out a copy of the image the same size onto copier paper and cut out the inside of the list to use as a mask.  I then put the image with the mask on top into my Tim Holtz stamping platform and used a Morning Mist Versafine Clair ink pad and a distressed script stamp to add writing to the rather long list.

The backing papers I have used are from various Polkadoodles CDs.  For all the presents I used a gift backing paper from a Christmas Creative Crafting World CD.  It was a slow job cutting them all out and inking their edges but it meant that I could add the presents to foam pads and the majority are used as my stopper for the easel card.

I have finished the card off quite simply with a sentiment from a Polkadoodles CD and a pom-pom on the elf's hat.
