Cownt Your Blessings by Bugaboo for Colour Crazy Challenge on the 29th of January, 2021

At Colour Crazy Challenge for the 29th of January, 2021, we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.

Here is my card:

As I mentioned, the 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!

I have digitally printed Cownt Your Blessings image and sentiment on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured the image with the following Copics markers:

• cows - C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, colourless blender, R30, clear Wink of Stella
• hearts - R32, R35, R37, R59, Twinkle Stickles
• bricks - E50, E51, E53, E55, N3, N5
• sentiment - B12, B14, B16, clear Wink of Stella
• background - BV000, BV00, BV01, BV02
• outline - B16

I have cut the image using my paper cutter and adhered it on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.

I also coloured 6 rhinestones from KaiserCraft with B16 and adhered three in two opposite corners of the card.

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 before the background was added and after:
