30 Day Coloring Challenge #4: Day 16 -Clean lines card

logoHello Everyone! It’s day 16 of coloring goodness. Today I finished coloring up the garden beauty and made her into a card. I chose to keep this to what I call a clean lines card in that I just let the image be present without any distractions like patterned paper or embellishments. I just wanted to focus on the image so I added a little bit of earth to ground the image and put it directly onto the card base.

I used my MISTI to add the sentiment which was from WPlus9.

I really like how she came out and think I will add more cards like this in the future.

Today I am taking the boys to one of their favorite local comic book stores called WebHead Comics and then off to the library for a little browsing. It’s all about books today!

I hope you all are well and I’ll be back tomorrow.

Happy coloring!

30 Day Coloring Challenge #4: Day 15 – Coloring up this garden beauty

logoHello! It’s Wednesday…wow this week is going by fast. It’s vacation week for the boys and we have been spending time with family and also doing day trips. Today we had appointments and a few errands to tackle before I could pull out my markers and play.

day15a

I pulled out this garden beauty from Saturated Canary. I don’t know if it’s the strange weather we are having that is making me think about spring or what but I printed her out and started coloring.

day15b

I typically start with the skin and hair when I color. I love the curly hair on this image but I haven’t quite mastered coloring it up. More practice will give me more opportunities to play around with color and techniques.

day15c

I wanted to complete the card today but I have dinner to make and then quality time with Leao and the boys so tomorrow I will finish up the coloring and make a card.

Happy coloring!

30 Day Coloring Challenge #4: Day 14 – Some Coloring Practice with Copics

logoHello Everyone! I squeezed in some coloring today – Yipee!! Not as much as I would have liked but I like that this challenge doesn’t have a time requirement.

day14a

This is a bird that I had from the online copic cardmaker class. So I played around with some funky color combos for these birds.

day14bThe technique I was practicing is called tip-to-tip coloring. It’s when you use two colors that are far away from each other and then take the lightest color and place it on the tip of the darker maker to make a shade that’s in between the two colors making for a nice blend. It’s great for when you have limited colors.

Tomorrow, I have to run the boys on some errands so prepare for another late post tomorrow. I’m just glad to still be at the challenge on day 14.

Happy coloring my friends!

30 Day Coloring Challenge #4: Day 13 Playing catch up!

logoHello Everyone! I had a date weekend with my man and coloring kind of got pushed to the side. My in-laws took the boys on Saturday. So Leao and I spent the day together relaxing and reading (yup, he’s a closet bookworm!) and then we ordered Japanese food from my favorite Japanese restaurant and picked it up for dinner and a movie at home. It was perfect because the weather was -9 degrees!

dinerandmovieI love how they include a live flower in the meal. So pretty even for take-out they make the effort.

So you see, coloring wasn’t going to work. So what I will do is extend my coloring for the challenge to make up for the two days I missed.

This is also school vacation week so I have to be clever to squeeze in time to color. Today I used some digis from Mayzy Art. A great designer who is sadly closing her shop. I have had fun coloring up her images and really sad to lose the talent.

day13eThis one will be perfect for a ‘get well’ card. I love the cute little bunny and slippers. day13dI used some of my current favorite color combos for this one.

This next image I knew I had to have for my new ‘breast cancer and cancer cards’.

day13a

I have to go back with my gold Wink of Stella to color over her armlet and earrings.

day13cWell it’s late and I need to get these boys in the shower. I just wanted to make sure I posted my coloring for today. See you tomorrow!

Happy coloring!
