June Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz!

June is my favorite month of the year!  The weather here in Iowa is usually fantastic and there are so many things to do to have fun. Including taking part in the Outlawz June Progressive Freebie Challenge!

Our image this month has been provided by Beccy Muir of Beccy's Place. And she actually is giving the black and white version of Gran's Chair Summer and the colored version. AND, not only that, she is offering a prize to our random winner from all of the June entries!! Thanks, Beccy, that is just wonderful!!

Here is my card using Beccy's image, Gran's Chair Summer.

I colored the image with Copic markers and then layered it onto some preprinted paper by Bo Bunny. And I layered that on top of some pretty floral designer paper. I added some premade paper flowers and my card was done in about 10 minutes!

Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz June 1st

Wow! Where did the month of May go?  Time flies and it is June already. And we have 5 Wednesdays in June which means we have 5 Sketch challenges starting with this one!
Getting right to it, here is our Sketch for this week!



And here is my card using Squirrel by our June sponsor Drawn By Krista! The squirrels in Iowa are mostly an orangey-red so I used Copic markers to try to achieve that color. Okay, maybe they aren't quite that red, but I had fun coloring this little mischievous critter!  That is quite a big acorn he has his little paws on!!


As I mentioned, our sponsor for the month of June is Drawn By Krista, formerly Drawn With Character.  Krista will give our June winner a prize of 4 digis.



I hope you will come by our new Sketch Challenge and see what my teammates have cooked up for their inspiration cards.

As always, I appreciate your dropping by!! Thanks a bunch!!
