From My Heart to Yours

Happy Hump Day, crafty friends! I have for you today a little card I made for the Color Challenge at The Outlawz. This image is by Sugar Nellie. I used this same image a few months ago to create a case card in honor of my friend's,
Colleen Holmes, birthday. If you're not familiar with her by name, Colleen is the spearhead of the NING group, The Outlawz, where I served on the design team for the Paper a la Mode group for a while. She is also the new owner and publisher of the awesome e-zine called "Through the Craftroom Door".

I digress. Anyway, this image is more like a sketch than the line drawing that most digis are and therefore it presents a different challenge in coloring it.  It already has some degree of shading, which I normally accomplish with my markers so adjustments had to be made in the colors I used. I was pleased with the results.

I entered this card in the following challenges:

The Outlawz Color Challenge (June 5) - Slate blue, maroon and crisp white

I'll be back tomorrow with another Saturated Canary card featuring one of Krista's newest images. Thanks for stopping by.  I value each and every one of you and appreciate your lovely comments.  Until next time...

Happy crafting!

A cute card for The Outlawz' Paper a la Mode challenge...

Okay, so I've decided to extend your break a little bit. And I took a couple of days to take photos of all those new cards I told you I have been working on. This is one of the cards among the many that I finished up the past few days. This cute image came to me from one of my online crafting friends along with several Tildas so long ago that I can't remember who the artist was. I know it; I just can't think of it right now so if any of my readers happens to know, leave me a comment and I'll edit this post to include it.  One of the Outlawz, Elaine Lagford-Pugh just  reminded me that this sweet image is by Lily of the Valley. Thanks so much, Elaine!

I colored this ages ago but never got around to putting it on anything until this week... as a matter of fact, until TODAY!!  I told you I had been on a binge and when that happens, I just have to roll with it because I never know when my muse might take a leave of absence again. LOL

Anyway, I made this one specifically for The Outlawz Paper a la Mode challenge, which is a recipe.  One image, 2 words, 3 papers, 4 embellishments and 5 colors. See for yourself if I was successful in following the recipe.

I entered this card in the following challenges:

The Outlawz Paper a la Mode - Recipe (see post for details)

Oozak.com Challenge #3 - 2 papers and embellies

I may be back later with another card or group of cards after I finish editing all the photos.  Until then...

Happy crafting!
