Crafters Cafe Challenge #314 'Monochrome'

 Well this is a first for me.  Monochrome.  It can be leaving one part of an image uncolored or just using one color and using different tones and shades.  I decided to pick the color green.  Boy howdy!!!  Do you know how many hues of green there are in the world?  I think I used most of them.  Here are this challenge sponsors.

Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

Prize~~2 Digital images

Fred She Said Digital Designs

Prize~~$10 Voucher

Fred She Said Designs offers a wide variety of digital products with a floral flair and cute characters too - Digi's, Pre-coloured images, Papers, Sets, Fred's Flower Kits, and even digital cutting files.  Have some fun with Fred! 

I have to say that these two sponsors are in my top 10 to work with.  When I want to pick an image to use for design team and the challenge sponsors are these companies, well I have a really hard time choosing.  Please go show some love and give a thank you to each of them.

The image that I created from is a Dr. Digi's House of Stamps and is titled Trixie the Triceratops.  Here is what I came up with.

Have you ever seen so many colors of green?  I actually did
color this with Prisma Colored Pencils, Arteza Pencils, Castle
Arts Oil Based Pencils and finally some fineliners.  The base
is a bright christmas Recollections green.  I colored this image
on a special colored pencil paper (I won't be ordering it again).
The sentiment came to me even before I got the image.  Just a 
lucky break.  Envelope is Olive Green Recollections.

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #261 - Anything Goes w/optional twist - Use 3+ Layers

 I don't know about you but the minute Halloween was over the decorations came down.  I so wanted to put up Christmas but decided it would be more special if I waited.  So I put some things up for Thanksgiving.  Christmas will be here soon enough.  Here are the sponsors.

Mirtillamente Craft Shop

Prize:  2 digis, 1 pad of digital papers "mini"

and the possibility of being Special Guest DT

Sheepski Designs

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Mirtillamente Craft Shop is becoming one of my favorite stores to design with.  Sheepski Design is in the top 5 on my favorite companies.  Please go show some love and please leave a nice thank you.  

I am designing and showing off Mirtillamente Craft Shops image called Le Pine Mrs. Peter Xmas No. 2.  Here we go!

Isn't this a fun image?  When I first saw it I
knew that I had to color it.  I used all alcohol
markers on this image.  I needed them to be 
bright and cheerful.  Christmas does not have
to be just red, green and gold.  Why not hot pink 
and neon orange?  The base is AC Cardstock 
followed by a layer of bright green card and
finally a piece of paper from a big DCWV book
from 2012.  I printed the Merry Christmas
on vellum and used spray adhesive to put it
on the card.

Crafters Cafe Challenge #313 'Fantasy'.

 Hello everyone!  Short and sweet post for this challenge.  Here is our sponsor.  

SheepskiDesigns

Prize~~3 Images

What a wonderful sponsor.  She has a fantasy section that you should explore.  Go have a look and then leave a little love and thanks.

My image is called Conversation.  Here is what I created.  (love working with the image)

I have colored the image with my prismacolor pencils.  Next
I used silver glitter to outline the moon.  Years ago I purchased
a DCWV paper pad that has nighttime images of the universe.
I used dark purple card as a base and found a star system with
purple as the background paper.  The Listen is printed and then
die cut with a Sizzix Nestabilities set.

This is a saying that I use quite frequently.

Well that's it for October.  I will see you back in November for the last challenge in the year.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  From my heart to yours,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!
