Day 11 and 12 #thedailymarker30day colorchallenge

So I never got the chance to update my blog yesterday for the coloring challenge so I will combine yesterdays and today's...

this is today's...I wanted to get a bit messy so I went with another art journal page...there is no right or wrong everyone sees something different..this page was inspired by another challenge well its more of a personal challenge really they just give you a word and how you interpret
that word is up to you...its called push your boundaries challenge..and my next word was splatter..see where I'm going here? LOL Messy!

 So we were out and about the other day and I saw all those flyers (we live in a touristy area) don't ask me why but I grabbed a couple of different ones my husband just gave me strange looks, anyway as I was looking through one I came across this cool ad for some attractions in the area it looked hand drawn with little splashes of color..I knew I wanted to incorporate that into my page...well really I made it my focus LOL I pulled colors from the image to use on my page...

here are yesterdays ... cute puppies LOL

aren't they adorable...they are from Kate Hadfield Designs, I got them for free from Simply cards and papercrafts magazine.

thanks for coming to check out my work!

Day 10 #thedailymarker30day

this is day 10...which was yesterday I just didn't get a chance to post to my blog LOL Its another Lawn Fawn set which I LOVE!

thanks for stopping by...

Day 9 #thedailymarker30day

I did something a bit different...I did an art journal page haha I needed to color it anyway so I thought that would count as my day of coloring for the daily markers coloring challenge...

this is also a part of the Push your boundaries challenge number 8  Tear. (it's not really a challenge you kind of follow a prompt at your own pace) ..I started with a blank page...I tore up some papers...I love to tear book pages this one was an old dictionary and some scrapbook patterned paper LOL...I used dylusions sprays and a couple different stencils ...O wasn't really going for the red white and blue but it happened...I decided on a big border I traced the edge of a stencil to create the scallopy border and painted it black..I couldn't get my paint pen to work so I used a word stencil and white paint over the border and really liked how that looked. I used the image I colored in day 6 I thought it worked and found a quote I really liked (I actually have a small stack of them printed on tissue paper just for my projects LOL)

there we have it! I like it and it was fun and very messy!

thanks for coming by!

Day 8 #thedailymarker30day

Well we're on day 8 already! Today I decided on a LLama from Honey Bee stamps haha I've done him a couple times but I've never done the cactus before...I did a little masking and made a front panel out of it...I'll crop it and add it to a card base later...It's great for one of those quickie cards we always seem to need!
I made a Booboo when I was stamping...I used archival instead of Memento it really didn't dawn on me until I was coloring :( but it all worked out in the end!

  thanks for stopping by...I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!

Day 7 #thedailymarker30day

So I wanted to try something different..haha like just coloring wasn't hard enough already! LOL anyway, I had seen a couple stamped images and the lady made them look like they had fur or they were fuzzy...
I used ink on 3 fadeout ink to stamp my image...I did it twice since I have a really hard time seeing the image if I don't...LOL

Now as everyone who teaches or does any kind of tutorial tell me I tried to keep my pencils sharp, that's easier said than done but at least now I know why they say keep it sharp. It does make things easier but I think I use too much pressure and always break my tip...yeah yeah I'm working on it LOL

Turns out I am just as bad with fur direction as I am with shadowing LOL But all in all I like how the coloring came out and the redrawn face on the brown kitty but the sad grey kitty has a huge nose 😳

thank you for coming by and reading my ramblings! 

Day 6 #thedailymarker30day

Here is what I was playing with this morning...its a digital image from a funky blog called wonder strange arts (just in case you were curious)you can find some really cool freebies there...I think they work great in my art journal!

I'm really thrilled with how this one came out...I used alcohol markers and colored pencils to try and get the right highlights LOL as I said try...I'm pretty easy to please it doesn't look so much like a flat image it had a bit of depth to it so all and all I'm happy!
I did use some Nuvo drops seashell on her jewelry and clear her eyeglass lenses so they are shiny!

thank you for coming by!

Day 5 #thedailymarker30day

Day 5 and I'm already feeling a little squirrely LOL I love this little guy he reminds me of the spaz's running around outside tormenting my poor dog..they are so much fun to watch.

one on the left I used Memento ink and alcohol markers with colored pencils the one on the right is archival ink and colored pencils with gamsol ...there are things I like and dislike about both squirrel but I really like the acorn on the right

anyway, thanks for coming by...

Day 4 #thedailymarker30day

I actually colored a few dinosaurs each with a slightly different color combo...its funny how the slight change changes the whole look...

so far I am having a blast in the latest 30 day coloring challenge...

thank you for stopping by!

Day 2 #thedailymarker30day

here is my day 2 of the challenge...I find I get better results if I mix my alcohol markers and use my colored pencils for shading and added texture

thanks for taking a peek!
