Color Me Creative Classroom Challenge - Colour Combo

We have a new challenge started over on the Color Me Creative Classroom forum. We want to see you use a colour combo of  Yellow, Brown/Craft and White. 

We are sponsored by Patty's Creations and each of the DT have been given a fantastic image to work with. I chose this VW Beetle as my hubby is a VW enthusiast and owns a 1973 VW Beetle which he restored himself. Sadly, the colour combo didn't match the colour of his beetle so I chose to use brown instead. 

Copics used:

E21, E23, E25, E27

C1, C3, C5

Y11, Y15

W1, W3, W5(ground)

My papers are My Mind's Eye and I've stitched them down onto brown and kraft cardstock. I trimmed my image out using circle nestabilities and matted it onto a scallop circle. I also used nesties to cut out the banner pennant. 

The Vroom... sentiment is from Watlzingmouse Stamps Half Pint Heroes set. To embellish I simply added a few 5mm white pearls. 

Challenges: 

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Color Me Creative Classroom Challenge - Backgrounds

It's time for a new challenge over on the Color Me Creative Classroom and this time your challenge is all about

Create a Background

You must create some kind of background for your main colored image! Sponging, Airbrushing, Drawing, Stamping etc! We want to see you use YOUR COPICS, ProMarkers, other alcohol markers or Colored Pencils!!

We are sponsored for this challenge by 

and one Lucky Winner will win 3 Digis from the Squigglefly Store!

I coloured my image with copic markers and used colour pencils to do the glow around  her. Then I airbrushed the background with B00 & B000. I then took some cheesecloth, spritzed it with activator spray and dabbed it all over the blue, giving a textured effect. 

My papers are from Prima. I've matted and stitched them onto pink, blue and white card.

Suzanne's Birthday Blog Hop!!

The Color Me Creative Design Team has a secret!!! 

 Today we are hopping along to wish our fearless leader, Suzanne Dean, a VERY happy birthday!!! Suzanne is the owner/creator of the Color Me Creative site and, as many of you know, teaches her Copic classes online and on the road! She is one busy momma and we thought we'd take time to wish her a happy day and hope she gets to sit with her Cherry Coke and donuts (ya, a fav combination of hers!) and relax a bit today and enjoy the hop!

Each of us decided it would be fun to remember Suzanne today in "typical Suzanne" style! Our creations will either help remember a "funny travel moment" with Suzanne or... share a secret about Suzanne. Ha!!! Bet she didn't see this coming!!! LOL

Here is what I created today....

I thought this new image from La-la Land Crafts was PERFECT for the lady who spends more time in the air than most pilots ever will!! lol. 

A close up of my card and Travel Marci

Now hop on over to the rest of the DT's sites to see what they are sharing about Suzanne. ;-)

There will be fun challenges, games and some awesome prizes to win and EVERYONE is welcome to join in on the fun! 

Everyday there will be a new game/challenge that you can participate in for a chance at some great prizes!  Head over the CMC Classroom and find out more details---the Birthday Bash info can be found in the GROUPS tab, just click on the Birthday Bash Group to join in!

You should have arrived here from Suzy Q's blog but if not, and you want to hop along, then head back to Steph's Blog where all the fun begins.

Ok, so I am not a CAS gal but lately I've been dabbling and it's not as nerve wrecking as I thought it was. CAS just doesn't come naturally to me - I LOVE loadza layers and bling and flowers and ribbon and lace.. and ... and.. you understand, right?! ;) I initially assembled this card without the doily but I quite like doilies so in it went! 

I coloured up the Magnolia gift image with my copics, trimmed it out and mounted it onto 3D foam dots. The sweet sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Compact Sentiments.

Next and final stop on your hop is Dana's blog.

Happy Hopping!!
