Week 4 at the Outlawz Color Challenge

Aloha everyone!

This week's colors at the Outlawz Color Challenge are Red, Black, and Gray/Silver + add die cuts.

I found an image a friend gave me, and thought, this really looks like our grandson, Kyle. He's 3 and ...very active.

I had too much fun coloring this with Spectrum Noir markers, and a couple of Copics for the colors I don't have in Spectrum. I used a bit of the Blender pen to give his shirt and jeans some wear.

The bottom borders are cut with Spellbinder scallop dies, the right side with decorative scissors and the image was cut with Spellbinder rectangle dies, then sponged with red and black. It tickles me how the Sakura clear glitter pen sparkled up the frogs eyes and toe nails!

Whew -- finally completed the inside of Kyle's card today (Jan 8 2013). I colored a large frog, cut it out, made a spring from some floral wire I had (wound it around a ring sizer), then used Scor Tape to get some good adherence for the spring, frog and inside card front.


The inside of the card is below :D

 

Thank you for looking!!!

So Many Blog Hops, So Many Challenges

Well, this morning I stumbled across a another exciting site which promotes card challenges and blog hops, as well as their own designed stamps. So, of course, I had to buy a couple sets to 'test out' on my own LOL.

If you have not been there, I absolutely encourage you to try "There She Goes Again." They have fabulous sets of stamps (need acrylic blocks to use) with the BEST shipping rates yet!!!

I put a blinky at the bottom of this blog in case you want to check them out.

How does everyone keep track of all the blog hops, challenges, stamping companies, products, and yet kick out the cards like we originally wanted to do? Wow, keeping balanced with this ... "hobby" and life's responsibilities is sure a test!

If you have figured out a way to keep up with all the stamping activity, would you share it with me? I feel like I am on an upside down map with no gps or compass.

With hugs and smiles,

Rosy
