Color Me Creative Birthday Bash

Hi there, Color Me Creative are having their 3 year Birthday Bash April 26th-April 29th.

Sadly I can't take part but it would be great if you could join in the fun if you can. Suzanne puts on great Birthday Bashes and I know the girls will cook up a fabulous line up of inspiration for you all.

Suzanne's Copic colouring classes are second to none.  If you haven't picked up your Copics and they are just gathering dust sign up for one, they are really good fun and will have you confident in using your Copics in no time.  You will just LOVE what you learn on them.

Have fun at the Bash!!

Color Me Creative and a Half Goodbye

Hi there. It’s my last post over at Color Me Creative as a full term Designer.  I’m venturing into setting up my life coaching practice so need to step down from some of my DT commitments.  It’s only a half goodbye though, I will be staying on as a Guest Designer though so you will see me from time to time.

So this week’s challenge is all about colouring with reds.


We are being sponsored by the lovely Tiddly Inks and this gorgeous little image is called Wryn – ‘Grow a Little Love’. 

For all of the details visit the main CMC blog, you will find out the prize up for grabs and there is a wonderful slideshow of the team’s cards, they are my favourite set so far, they’re gorgeous!

For my card I used various scraps of paper.  I forgot to write my copic list out so I’m hoping I’ve got it right for you…

R29, R27, R24, BG49, BG45 (BG’s used tip to tip), E11, E00, C7, C5, C3, C1, E19, E18, E17, E13

I hope you’ll join in the fun!

I will be back Thursday to join in the fun with the PDCC 3rd anniversary celebrations!  See you then!

Hello Dude!

Hey my blogging friends!  It’s time for a bit of navy/dark blue over at Color Me Creative.  I’m a bit late with my card, I’ve been having a lot of techie issues this week for some reason.  This wouldn’t be my go to colour of choice for images but it was actually quite easy to do, it didn’t take too much blending like some of the colours can.


The story behind this is my daughter (Tinks) has just got a new hamster, she wanted a mouse but we researched it and were told they weren’t great pets to keep so we got a hamster instead.  Just to confuse things she’s called her Mouse!  I made this card from her mouse thanking Tinks for being her friend!  She nearly got sent back (the hamster that is, not our daughter!) because she kept us awake half the night when she arrived trying a little Houdini act and practising morse code on her cage bars, but she is much, much happier now.

 

(This is her in the shop, she now has a very lovely house to live in and is pampered like a princess lol)

We’re always making coffee in our house, we’re officially addicts, so it worked perfectly that the little mouse was peeping out from behind a latte! 

I got to play with my new MFT jumbo ric rac die, isn’t it fab!  The papers are by Basic Grey

Here are the colours I’ve used.  I meant to take a pic when I photographed my card and forgot, but the weather here is grim today, really overcast and rainy so it’s too dark to take a decent pic now.

Cup: B69, B29, B28, B24
Cup Label: BG10
Mouse: W5, W3, W1
Ears: R85, R83, R81

Our sponsor this time is Sweet 'n' Sassy Stamps and my gorgeous little mouse image is called Cocoa's Latte!  Thank you Sweet 'n' Sassy, she was so much fun to colour and brought a huge smile to my Tink's face!




**Navy Blue/Dark Blues**

Colour ANY image ANY way you like---but it MUST have LOTS OF DARK BLUE/NAVY COLOURS in it!  We want to see you use your Copics, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or Coloured Pencils!!
