Festive Friday's Challenge 9-29-17

We have a new challenge at the Outlawz Festive Friday's Challenge! Each week we give you four themes to choose from and you can enter up to three times per week! 

The themes this week are Card with Stitching (Faux or Real), Our Military, Tea Party, and Christmas.  

For my theme, I picked Card with Stitching. My image is by Bugaboo and is BUG FALL FENCE.

I colored the image with Copic markers. The image was cut out with a stitched rectangle die. On the background layer, I used a black pen to go around the perimeter with faux stitches. I made my background layer by gluing various leftover strips together. It was fun to use up some of my many scraps!

The finished size is 5 x 7 inches.

I hope you will visit Festive Friday's at the Outlawz and see what my teammates have made!

Bugaboo is always our sponsor for the Festive Friday's Challenge and is giving a great prize of 5 digital images to our lucky September winner! Please visit Bugaboo as they are so generous with their prizes and we simply couldn't have challenges without them!

Outlawz Sketch Challenge 9-27-17

 There is a new Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz!

Sami Stamps is sponsoring our Challenge this month. The prize will be $12 gift cert from Sami's store.

Here is this week's sketch. Sandra is letting us pick our favorites from 2016 and it was Cindy's turn to pick her fav. Here is Cindy's favorite sketch from last year!

I made two cards for this week's challenge.  Here is the first one. The image is Warm Love by Sami Stamps. I colored with Copic markers and used items from my stash to make the card. 

And here is the second one. For this one, I used Little Flower Fairy by Sami Stamps. I colored with Copic markers and used Gold Wink of Stella on her wings. If I could do it over, I would have used Clear Wink of Stella......I think it would have looked nicer. It does look better IRL than it does here because the camera didn't pick up the shine. The ribbon and papers are from my stash and I used Petite Butterfly from Stampin' Up! to punch my butterflies and used Daffodil Delight ink to sponge around the edges.

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

Thanks for dropping in! I love having visitors!

Tuesday Color Challenge at the Outlawz

There is a new Outlawz Colour Challenge starting today.  The Outlawz Color Design Team has made some beautiful cards with our sponsor images.

The sponsor this month is Sheepski Designs.

At the Color Challenge this week, we are doing a monochromatic theme with a twist of a pop of one other color!

Jeanie chose the inspiration and at first I was stumped, but decided to use the SheepSkiDesigns image, Jean's Cherry Blossom and I loved how it turned out.

Here is my card using an image by our sponsor Sheepski Designs, Jean's Cherry Blossom.   https://www.etsy.com/listing/538695099/jeans-cherry-blossom-image-no-102?ref=shop_home_active_16 

I colored with Copic markers. I used pink as my "pop" color and used various shades of the T Copic family for the leaves and branches. 

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

Snowmen and Tic Tac Toe

Happy Tuesday! There is a new Outlawz Colour Challenge.  The Outlawz Color Design Team has made some beautiful cards with our sponsor images.

The sponsor this month is Sheepski Designs.

At the Color Challenge this week, we are playing Tic Tac Toe! 

AJ (Art Jypsy) has made an interesting and fun Tic Tac Toe board. You can go three squares in any direction.....horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

I used the vertical column on the left.  Inspirational verse, snowflakes and peachy colors.

Here is my card using an image by our sponsor Sheepski Designs, Snowman Selfie #100.  

https://www.etsy.com/listing/523368094/snowmen-selfie-image-no-100?ref=shop_home_active_19

I colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is from a Close to My Heart Christmas stamp set and the stamped snowflake is from the same set.  I layered onto an embossed layer of white cardstock. Do you think I could find my snowflake embossing folder? Nope!!  I'm going to go through my folders this afternoon and locate it because I know I will want to use it soon! The one I used looked similar to a snowflake pattern and is by Cuttlebug.

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