Coloring challenge

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge





Here is my coloring for day 4 and 5.  Day 4 I just did the skirt and heart, day 5 I finished the rest of the image....been traveling and on travel days it's really hard to find time to color, so I'm missing a couple days and that sucks, but it happens.

Here is my image....just LOVE her, she is from Tiddly Inks and is called Baby Dragon Queen, so much fun to color!!   I colored with copics, tried making a shadow of the dragon, not sure it worked or not, but I tried!  :D

A Beary Happy Birthday

I also used 3 different journal cards from one of my project life kits and made a birthday card for our grandbaby's 1 year birthday in Sept....yep, I got a huge jump on this card!  I also used a heart from one of the sets to mark the 5th which is his birthday!

30 Day Color

            

Saw this fun challenge going on over HERE and thought I would join.  I'm hoping to color something everyday, but will be out of town this weekend....maybe I can still pack up some colors and images and work on a little sumthin!

Here is my coloring for day 1 (which was yesterday)  This is Pixie Nerd from Saturated Canary.  I LOVE her...ya know why?  Well, first....she's so possesive of that stack of books she's got there, and I LOVE reading!  I want to dedicate a whole art journal to book/reading images and quotes. Second, she's a pixie/fairy and I just LOVE fairies.  I love anything in the fantasy genre, whether it's images, books, or movies, that's where my love lies...in fantasy!  Third, she is a Saturated Canary image......gorgeous image and that quote really kicks butt!  So, here is my coloring attempt for day 1, I really like this challenge, because it's not about a finished project, or even a finished image, just color something each day.  I think I can do that!!

                                                    And....here is my coloring for day 1!

Kraftin Kimmie Guest Design.....Whoot!!

I am so excited to be a part of the guest DT this month over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and am sharing a card made with the Goldilocks image from the Once Upon a Time 3 set.  I colored with copics, the background panels are actually journal cards from one of my Project Life kits....I love how these can be the perfect little background paper!  The enamel dots are from Your Next Stamp in the Sparkly Teal color!  I hope you like my little colored up version of Goldilocks....I think she turned out JUST RIGHT!! :D
