Skateboard Little Dudes for Colour Crazy Challenge for the 16th of August, 2019

At Colour Crazy Challenge for the 16th of August, we are sponsored by Polkadoodles and the image that I chose was Skateboard Little Dudes, which also comes with digital paper.

So I made a card for my 10 year old son - I'll probably give it to him for his birthday next year as he is totally into skateboarding!

As I mentioned, the sponsor for this challenge is Polkadoodles.

I have digitally printed the skateboard little dudes and the sentiments on to X-Press It Blending card and then cut him out with my paper cutter.
I have coloured him with the following Copics markers:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04
• hair - E50, E53, E55, E57
• hat - R22, R24, R27, R59, colourless blender on nappy!
• backpack - V12, V15, V17, BV17, R59
• t-shirt - BG72, BG75, BG78
• skateboard - Y23, Y35, Y38, YR27
• wheels of skateboard - YG13, YG07
• jeans - B93, B95, B97, B99
• shoes - B93, B95, B97, B99, R22, R24, R27, R59
• laces - R59
• ground - C-1, C-3, C-5
• background - BG0000, BG000, BG01, BG02
• outline - BG02

I had the papers that come with skateboard little dudes printed out at Officeworks and then have cut them to fit the white card from Envelope Solutions and using the sketch #165 from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2:

I changed it up slightly, as my image was the longer piece, I cut the paper to fit the rest of the sketch and outlined each piece with Teal Zeal Memento ink.

The flower is represented by the ticket, which I have coloured with BG72, BG75, BG78 and outlined with Teal Zeal Memento ink.

I also added the sentiment that was coloured just with BG72 and outlined with BG78.

Everything was adhered to the card using double-sided tape.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

Glass Half Full from Polkadoodles - Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge for 4th of August, 2019

Hi All and Welcome to my post about my second card for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my card:

The sponsor for this challenge is Polkadoodles:

and the prize is a £6.75 voucher.


I was given Glass Half Full and I have digitally printed it on to X-Press It Blending Card and then cut out using a KaiserCraft Decorative nesting frame die cut.

Then I have coloured with the following Copics:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04
• eyes - YG11, G21, G07, G29
• lips - R20, R22

• background - V20, V22, BG000
• outline - E59, BG02, W7

This is the first time that I have coloured hair black - I used the colours from the wonderful Alyce's from Kit and Clowder Skin and Hair class.

On to a white card from Envelope Solutions, I stamped the border stamp from Sage Advice from the wonderful Marcella from Power Poppy using my MISTI and Pear Tart Memento ink, I also stamped the two flower bunches from the same stamp set in the same ink - I then added a few colour touches with the following Copics:

• purples - V12, V04, V28, V99
• greens - BG90, BG93, BG99, YG07
• pinks - RV25

I have then stamped the sentiment from Prairie Cheer also from Power Poppy in Nautical Blue Memento ink.

I adhered the coloured image to the card, trying to follow the sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday.

I have also stamped the border and a pot of sage on the inside of the card, again using my MISTI and Bamboo Leaves Memento ink.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:
