2 Colour Challenges

I was inspired by two colour challenges this weekend, and I included those new butterfly digital stamps on them that I talked about in my post yesterday (I warned you that you'd be seeing them again--heehee).  I'm having so much fun colouring them in with lots of different colours.  I don't own any Copic markers, so I've just been experimenting with good old pencil crayons (using a white one to blend) and some cheapy artist markers.

First colour challenge I saw was Embellish's:

In addition to the colours, you also had to include borders on the card, so here's my take:


Cardstock is PTI; sentiment is Inkadinkado; butterfly is Hero Arts digital


The other colour challenge I played along with was Curtain Call Color Challenge-Act 19:


I really tried to keep this card simple.  I had to make my own "Razzleberry" colour.  The butterflies in the inspirational photo made it really easy for me to use those Hero Arts butterflies again--I had printed off a whole page of them yesterday-- they were just waiting to be coloured.  The sentiment is from PTI's Big Bold Wishes--I absolutely love that set!!

I also added some thin wire antennae (pulled out of wired ribbon)

Well, off to watch the Closing Ceremonies of the Olympics!  So proud of our Canadian athletes--most gold won by any country in a Winter Olympics--14!!  What a way to finish it off with that great gold-medal winning Hockey game this afternoon!! 


Thanks 4 your time!

  11. Your card stood out to me when looking at all the tidbets from the linky station on Embellish. So pretty, and so good to hear that someone else doesn't really own Copics either! You've given me inspiration to pull out my Prisma Colored Pencils again!
