Zeddy the Zebra from Oddball Art Co. for Colour Crazy Challenge for the 25th of September, 2020

At Colour Crazy Challenge for the 25th of September, 2020, we are sponsored by Oddball Art Co and I chose Zeddy the Zebra.

Here is my card:

As I mentioned, the sponsor for this challenge iOddball Art Co.

I have digitally printed Zeddy the Zebra from Oddball Art Co. on to X-Press It Blending card.
I have coloured the image with the following Copics markers:
  • purples - V12, V15, V17
  • eyes - 100, white gel pen
  • white - C00, C0, C1, C2
  • bandage - B12, B14, B16
  • nostrils - R83
  • background - BG000
  • outline around Get Well Soon - BG18 and clear Shimmer pen.
I have fussy-cut and adhered the coloured image on to a white square card from Envelope Solutions. I then die cut Get Well Soon from the front of the card using a die cut from the May 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts from La-La Land Crafts.
I then adhered a piece of paper from my stash behind the die cut and adhered the actual words on to the paper, then coloured it with a clear Shimmer pen.
I have drawn some inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her awesome Monthly Classes.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

Here is the inside of the card using the other sentiment:

September 2020 Not Just Cards Challenge for the 11th of September, 2020


Not Just Cards is having a new challenge this month. The theme for the September 2020 Challenge is as usual: "ANYTHING GOES".
To join in the fun, click on the following link:

Here is my colouring for this month! As it was so dark, I have placed it on top of our fireplace next to the Mt Barker stone mantlepiece.

I have coloured the June-July 2020 Brighten Your Day Colouring Class from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder. The stamp is Patch and Puss on the Bench from Lili of the Valley, but I think it is exclusive for members only so you only get access to it through the Kit and Clowder Class. There are a heap of Patch and Puss digi stamps on the Lili of the Valley Etsy Shop website.

Here are the progression shots: 
 





Here are the finished images:

I also tried to use a little easel:

Christmas Words - Snow for Bugaboo Stamps at Winter Wonderland Challenge for the 4th of September, 2020


At Winter Wonderland this month, we are hosted by Jackie.
Welcome to our ninth challenge for 2020.

Our theme is:
SNOWMEN AND SNOW

So here is my card:
Please remember that it is Christmas projects only and they must include the theme.
"Snowmen and snow"
We want to see snowmen and/or snow in your Christmas creations.
Our sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo Stamps:

Everything that you ever wanted to know about Bugaboo Stamps - a short essay!
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was seven years ago.

Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.

Jodie works hard to provide new releases and freebies every week!

And the prize on offer for our lucky winner is:
$12 gift code to spend in the Bugaboo Stamps store.

I chose Christmas Words - Snow for my image, which I digitally printed on to X-Press It blending card and then cut out using my paper cutter. 
I have coloured the image with the following Copics markers:
  • snowmen and snowballs - C00, C0, C1, R20, clear Wink of Stella
  • hats - C5, C7, C9, R35, R37, R39, clear Wink of Stella

  • background - BV0000, BV000, BV00, B0000, B000, B00
  • outline - B16
I then adhered the coloured image on to a white square card from Envelope Solutions and finally attached rhinestones from KaiserCraft that I coloured with B16 and B18.
As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Monthly Classes and Bonus Classes from the awesome Alyce at Kit and Clowder.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

I also had an image before I added the rhinestones:
