The 30 Day Coloring Challenge - Day 27

For Day 27 of Kathy Racoosin's 5th 30 Day Coloring Challenge!

My hubby brought home some Concord & 9th happy mail this past weekend. I was excited to finally get the Sweet & Cool stamps and dies and they were the first set I broke open. I started by creating a watercoloured sheet to die cut my images from. I divided my page into four quadrants and watercoloured pink/orange, yellow/green, blue/purple and ochre/gold and set it aside to dry. From the dried sheet I die cut my popsicles and sticks then I heat embossed the sentiment in white and adhered them to my card base. I finished it off with a few sequins and some pink paint splatters.

That Bites

A bit of time to unwind before bed on Sunday night!

Busy weekend with my family, everyone home and I love it. The house feels so alive when everyone is here! Not the greatest weather, in fact Sunday was dreary and cold!

I created a card with my new Avery Elle That Bites stamp set and I used my Scan N Cut to cut out my images. I cute a whole bunch of them so they are ready to be coloured when I want to make a card. I die cut a circle of MFT Stamps Watercolor Wash paper and trimmed one side so it could be adhered to the right side of my card base. I Copic coloured the fish, added Win of Stella to their eyes and adhered them to the card with foam tape. I added my sentiment and a few clear sequins. A great card for a guy with those crazy looking fish and the totally fun sentiment!

CCC #190

Time for this week's new Cue Card at CASology!

This week the cue is:

It's official I am watercolour crazy, I just love how easy it is to blend out your colours to be as bold or as soft as you want and it is so forgiving. Unless you get it too wet--but we won't go there.

Loving the bear from Ellen Hutson's All Inside.  I used my ZIG's to watercolour the bear but I used Copics to colour the sun and then coated it with Wink of Stella! By mixing different colouring mediums together it add's interest to your card while still keep your design CAS.

Head over to CASology to see what the rest of the Design Team created this week. Hope to see you play along with us.

CCC #189 and SSS A Bit O' Green

It's time for this week's new cue card at CASology!
This week the Cue is:

A long time favourite stamp set Flower Garden by Papertrey Ink, it reminds me of doodles with the swirly an irregular shapes. Keeping the design on an angle and leaving lots of white space is a great technique for CAS design.

colourQ #343 and SSS A Bit O' Green

It's time for this week's new colour palette at the colourQ!

Lots of green which is a welcome colour this time of the year!

The snow is basically melted here, and with this week's forecast I expect it to be gone by the end of the week. It is going to be a while still before the trees start to see some leaves but in the meantime I will enjoy creating with these colours. I used my Hero Arts Ombre ink pad and MISTI to stamp my leaves from Papertrey Ink's Turning a New Leaf. It created a really nice transition of colours!
