CCEE: Coloring Book Day :)

Hello friends!

Today I'm sharing a card with you for today's nationally celebrated day ~

Coloring Book Day!

Coloring?

Yes, please!

That is one fun day to celebrate for us card makers :)

Frances is our hostess for the month of August 

and she has a month of FUN planned!

For today's challenge, she asked us to use an image on our card

that needs to be colored.

And I do hope a little forgiveness will be allotted ...

I colored this card previously for a very dear friend of mine,
but I hadn't posted it here on my blog.

But, I can report - she loved the card :)

I used my Neat and Tangled stamps 

called Better Together 

The colors are a little whimsical as I based them as stuffed animals

rather than a real puppy and bear.

Be sure to stop in the CCEE blog and

see all the coloring inspired cards this week.

You can find them here on the blog!

Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

CCEE ~ Red for Anne!

Hi friends!

It's time for a new challenge over at the CCEE Stampers blog,

brought to us by Anne ~ our hostess for May.

Her challenge is "Red for Anne", her favorite color!

For my card, I wanted to create a card with my Neat and Tangled

 Better Together and use red as the main color. 

Red is so vibrant and rich ~ a perfect compliment to give your card a POP!

This card was a bit of a challenge, and a triumph :)

I absolutely ADORE this card!

One of the things I'm trying to learn is skin colors.
I tend to lean towards the peaches and light skin colors because it's easy!

I color with prismacolor markers (and now Azure markers!)

but do have a few Copics for coloring skin (E00, E01, E11)
I had to use a few different prismacolors to create all the friends here :)

 

I stamped out the images and did a bit of masking to create the 

friends standng next to each other.  

Based on the direction of the animels they are holding,

I added them right to left to allow them not to overlap.

 For the sentiment, I fussy cut the word 'you'.

I did buy the matching dies for this set but the word you didn't have one ..

and that's okay! Improvise!

You can see what the rest of the CCEE Stampers created for Red for Anne

this week by heading over to the blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

I'll enter this card to:  WordArtWednesday -
