The sponsor for this week's challenge at The Outlawz, Colour Challenge is Eureka. The challenge was to use three of five colors given. I used all five. They are in the stained glass. There is also a twist which is to make it a get well card. This is my last DT card for quite a while. I didn't think I would get all the June cards done, but I managed.
This card is for The Festive Friday Challenge at The Outlawz. This challenge is sponsored by Hetty Clare, I colored the image with Copic markers.
This card is for The Monday Sentiments Challenge at The Outlawz. The sponsor is KLM and the challenge is to use pink and gray. I colored this image with Copic markers.
This card is for the Festive Friday Challenge at The Outlawz. It is quite a bit late. I am not handling my card making very well. I am trying to get my all my June commitments completed today and then I am done with design work for a while. Between, my health issues and loss of mojo I decided to leave all design teams. I will now just make cards that speak to me somehow.
This image is by Hetty Claire. It is colored with Polychromas pencils..
This image is from NinoKurtsART on Etsy. She is colored with Copics and a variety of pencils. I want to practice making a background on this with pastels. I think I will photocopy it so I don't mess up the original. I intentionally ma=de her skin pale. I usually have quite a bit of color in the skin, but I wanted to try something different. So Tom's opinion is that she looks dead. Some people are very pale, it happens. Part of it is that I colored it very light plus the photography was not done well, my fault. I asked Tom what I should name this image. He picked Emily, and so it is.
I will update the photos if I ever get the background done. I am seriously delinquent in my Design Team duties. I am not handling life well at all right now.
Our Monday Sentiment challenge at The Outlawz is being sponsored by Jan's Digi Stamp. I chose this cute, pre-colored image. It's hard to tell because the lighting was not right, but the background is done in chalked clouds.
This is another image by Emanuelle Colin. I am trying to slowly work my way through the five coloring books I bought. This image was colored with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils. That seems to be the combo I use the most. I really love the colors available with Prismacolor, but they just cannot hold a point well. When I do manage to get them sharp enough they break within the first few seconds of using them. I am still having difficulty photographing. I told my husband he needs to take over the photography job. I just need to teach him what I want. I always ask him to critique my art. I know he will tell me the truth no matter what. On this picture he said he has never seen a bird that color before. I told him it was artistic license. Other than that he liked it. I had to laugh. My first thought when I saw the bird was that it looked like a narwhal. Apparently, I was not the only one. My eight year old grandson asked me why she had a narwhal in her hair! Great minds think alike.
The Tuesday Color Challenge this week is sponsored by Eureka. I was on their DT quite a while ago so fortunately I have lots of images to choose from. The challenge this week is Black and White and one color from the picture below. I chose red. Also the twist is polka dots. I used black enamel dots for the polka dots.
The next challenge is the Progressive Freebie Challenge. The image this month is from The Paper Shelter. This is an Anything Goes challenge as long as you use the image. The image provided included black and white and pre-colored images. Also provided is a background. I used the black and white image and colored it with Copic markers.
This is another image by Mariola Budek called Night Hunter. This was a real challenge for me. I still see many things I want to change. I had decided to leave it alone, but I may go back and fix a few things. I put my usual streaks in her hair, but they don't show up in the photo. I may go back and draw them in with a darker pencil. I still haven't learned how to do backgrounds. I am going to watch some You Tube videos and try to figure it out.
Time to get busy on cards. I have two DT projects due on Tuesday and I haven't started them yet. I better get moving!
The sponsor for The Festive Friday Challenge at The Outlawz is Jan's Digi Stamps. I decided on the category Anything Goes. I had purchased this paper at The Hobby Lobby and was waiting to find an image to use with it. This image fit the bill perfectly. I colored the image with Copic markers and pencils.

I took this picture with a bright light on the left side. It makes the left look more pale than the right. It is not.
This Outlawz Challenge, Tuesday Color, is being sponsored by Bugaboo. The theme for this challenge is purple monochrome.
It's time again for Festive Friday's Challenge at The Outlawz. I chose the category Christmas. Our sponsor for this challenge is Jan's Digi Stamps. I chose this seashell Christmas tree to make a card for my cousin that lives in Florida.I colored the shells with a bronze pencil. I used bronze metallic cardstock from Stampin' Up. The paper is also from them. I wanted to add a ribbon, but of course, there is no bronze ribbon that I know of. I took some gold ribbon and colored it with an E7 Copic marker. Voila, I now have bronze ribbon.

This lovely drawing, Amelia, is by Julia Spiri. I colored it with Caran 'D Ache and Polychromos pencils. I am not happy with the skin colors available in the Caran 'D Ache. Most have a very yellow undertone. I colored over the skin tones with Polychromos Flesh and liked it better. I just bought all the new Caran skin tones. I should have saved my money. I got this image for free from Julia's Patreon club. So many beautiful images are available.
