Bugaboo Bingo

This is the image I colored this morning for the daily marker color challenge last time Kathy held this challenge I learn also I wanted to take part again but this time to actually make a card out of the images I colored LOL..I did make cards out of a couple of the others but most sat in a pile until recently!

so ....here is the card I made with this darling little lady from Bugaboo stamps..hehe I think I own all the digi's with any kind of cats or dogs in them...they are just too cute! and took part in the new Bingo challenge over at Catch the bug challenge blog!

 I did ribbon, die/punch and sentiment....but then I also did button, Bugaboo image, and sentiment.. it just happened to work out that way!

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!

So it begins!!

Teacher Appreciation

May Theme challenge over at catch the bug is  Teacher Appreciation, this may sound horrible but when my oldest was still in school I sent a lot of thank you cards and notes LOL just kidding she was a good kid, but I did send thank you cards ... so that's what I decided to make. I used a digi stamp from Bugaboo stamps and colored it with Prismacolor pencils

thank you for coming by to have a peek!

Mushroom in my heart

This was a super quick card to put together since I stamped a but if the images all in one shot and used my scan and cut on my silhouette portrait (I have to remember to color before I cut LOL some of the images are really tiny on their own)Most of the products used on this card came from Scrapsalot its an awesome little craft shop based in Fl. she does crops and expos but also takes online orders... It's an awesome little shop! I created the background using a stencil and some ink oxides (which I love) the mushrooms were colored with colored pencils and I used some Gamsol to blend...I probably could have added some clear Nuvo drops but I really liked how it looks so I left them off LOL

Back to nature

the theme challenge over at Catch the bug is back to nature...Basically anything you think of when you hear the theme is acceptable!

I thought of flowers and animals..so I went through all the digi stamps I have from Bugaboo stamps and found a couple that would fit this challenge... I really couldn't decide I two so I combined them to make one image...

Day 29 Coloring challenge

I can't believe I made it 29 days...woohoo...just one more to go... #thedailymarker30daychallenge

I did learn a lot about my markers and colored pencils...that was the whole point in taking the challenge at least for me. I still have wicked issues blending but I guess that will come with time, I learned to mix my markers and pencils, that looks really cool and it helps with all the in-between colors that I'm missing. I find that I'm more relaxed after my time coloring which is awesome! I truly think it will be better after I get my new glasses because right now I spend more time taking them off and on than I do coloring LOL

so here is what I worked on today...both are still a work in progress...

here are a couple of my favs.....

Day 22

which I turned into a card for a swap...

and Day 24

I also turned this one into another swap card...

I hope my swap partners love them as much as I do!
