Hope you will drop by the Outlawz Colour Challenge this week. It is the final week for our sponsor Mari Digis and you are going to want to see what lovely projects the Colour team has made!

The sponsor this month is Mari Digis.

Here is the inspiration photo and the Twist is "Anything but a Card".  Cara picked our inspiration photo this week. Use the colors: Burgundy, Sparkly Gold, Tan, and Cream

Here is my card using an image by the sponsor Mari Digis.  It is Places of the World 3 and I saw it used on the Stamping Studio Facebook page and fell in love and went and bought it.

As you can see, my project is a framed picture. I have it sitting in my bedroom with all my other Eiffel Towers. 

I put gold Wink of Stella on the Eiffel Tower but it didn't photograph as well as I would have liked.  It's very pretty in real life.

I hope you will stop by the Outlawz Colour Challenge and think about joining us!

And thanks so much for dropping by my blog! I appreciate it!

 Happy Wednesday! Time for a new Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz!

Our sponsor for August is Digistamp4Joy. Our August winner will get to choose four images from theDigistamps4Joy store.

Here is this week's sketches. There are two to pick from. Pretty similar, yet a little different.

Sketch 1

Sketch 2

I chose Sketch 2.

And here is my card using several images by our sponsor Digistamps4Joy.  I used Underwater Scene, Misteri Mermaid, sea turtle, and Happy Birthday for my images. The digis were colored with Copic markers. I used 6 inch Wilton doilies for the underlayer for the mermaids.

The overall card size is 12 x 6 inches and folds up to 6 x 6 inches. This is what it looks like folded up. I used used some tropical diecuts to decorate the outside. The black belt is just black cardstock that can be pulled through the buckle to open and close.

Hope you will come by the Outlawz Sketch Challenge and see what my talented teammates have come up with!

The themes this week are Child's Birthday Card, Let's Go Boating, Card with Stripes, and Christmas.

My hippo image is by Bugaboo and is part of the Mini Animal Sentiments set. I wish I had enlarged it a little more so you could read the words around it better. Hip "hippo" ray. I punched the balloons and butterfly with my Stampin' Up! punches.

Daffodils at the Outlawz Sketch Challenge

Happy Wednesday! Time for a new Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz!

Our sponsor for August is Digistamp4Joy. Our August winner will get to choose four images from theDigistamps4Joy store.

Here is this week's sketch

And here is my card using Daffodil by our sponsor Digistamps4Joy. I merged three Daffodils together and colored with Copic markers.

My order of Oxide inks came this week so I used the Twisted Citron one to make a background around the daffodils. I felt like the daffodils were a little lost, so I used a brush marker to make a contrast around the flowers. Originally, my daffodils were all yellow, but they lacked pizzazz, so I made the centers orange. I added a sentiment and some black rhinestones to the corners and did some cardstock layering and I was done. The overall card size is 6 x 6 inches.

Hope you will come by the Outlawz Sketch Challenge and see what my talented teammates have come up with!

Outlawz Color Challenge 8-15-17

I'm guest designing in August at the Outlawz Colour Challenge. Hope you will drop by there and see what lovely cards the Colour team has made!

The sponsor this month is Mari Digis.

Here is the inspiration photo and the Twist is Inspiration.

My image is by the sponsor Mari Digis.  I used the colors from the inspiration photo and friendship for my inspiration. I colored the image with Copic markers. The frame is by Spellbinders, Timeless Rectangles. 

The stamped sentiment is by Fiskars. The pink flowers under the sentiment are made of resin and are actually sold for a fairy garden, but when I got them, I was thinking they were better suited to put on a card. 

I hope you will stop by the Outlawz Colour Challenge!

The themes this week are Straw Hat, Man's Profession, Favorite Treat, and Christmas.  

For my theme, I picked Favorite Treat and made a friendship card.

I used the Friends Cookies digi image by our sponsor, Bugaboo. I used my Copic markers to color the cute image. The Sweet background layer is also by Bugaboo and one of the digi papers from the Chocolate set. I don't see the digi paper set or the Friendship image in the store right now, but Jodie is busy adding in older images into the new web store.  The flower is from a set of fabric flowers in my stash.
