Outlawz Progressive Challenge August 2017 - Three Fishes

Outlawz August 2017 Progressive Challenge 

  

The image(s) this month are two angel fish  drawn by Jean Chaney (Tangle Street). One is a fish with the zentangle pattern drawn in for you and the other leaves room for you to add your own pattern or not. I choose the pre drawn one.  

The images are titled Swish, the Angelfish and Swish Tangled. The underwater plant life is part of the image for 'Swish Tangled .

I printed out 3 images of the fish, 2 large and one small., coloured them with Prismacolor  markers,  and fussy cut  out one large and the one small fish. These two were then made dimensional with pop ups.

Outlawz July 2017 Challenge - 'Dog' by Anne Fenton.

Outlawz Progressive Challenge July 2017

Outlawz Progressive Challenge -  July 2017   -Dog card
The image for the month of July is  Dog by Anne Fenton.

The design is from Bugaboo's Stella Says Sketch challenge #512 for July.
.

I coloured the dog with Prismacolor Markers and gave him a slightly clouded sky and   muddy ground. He just looked liked he would be be one of those  dogs that cannot resist a mud puddle. My card needed a bit of colour so colored the ball green  and the woof sentiment  was die cut from a piece of green scrap paper. The left hand border is from a Recollections paper pad titled 'Vintage Country'. The die cut scalloped type border is from Spellbinders 'Ironwork Accents' die set.

Birthday for a Little Guy

A birthday card for a little grand nephew  using an adorable 'Bugaboo' stamp called 'Theodore - Birthday Sign'.  I colored the image with a combination of Copics and Prisma Colour markers, added three balloons  punched out from two borrowed 'no  brand name' punches . and  that was basically it. The background was  three layers of cardstock and a punched border.   The first layer was dry embossed with  a heart folder.

 My first March birthday card will shortly be in the mail. Yaay!

Outlawz Progressive Challenge - Feb 2017

Outlawz Progressive Challenge. The image this month of February 2017 is a Bugaboo image called "Friend Flower Doodle'.

I used "Stickles' to colour the flowers  & the leaves and  Liquid Pearls on the butterflies. I used a Stampin' Up embossing folder called Square Lattice for the white strip on the panel behind the image square. The edging on the bottom of said square is from a Martha Stewart punch  which I cut in half to give me a smaller edge.  The design at the top of the card are some  left overs of the punched out ovals of the edging punch..

That was that, very easy and I quite like the result. It is going to one of my oldest and dearest friends, for no reason, just because!

Girl with Flowers

Time for the Outlawz Freebie/Progressive Challenge and this month's freebie is'August'  by Andrea Norris from Sheepski Designs. A lovely image indeed! All the papers are Stampin' Up's' including the designer  paper (old  6x6 paper stack). The sentiment was created in 'Word' but is not my own, just a saying I happened to like. I used Copics to colour the image.  The flower was laying around in my stash.
I printed the image out twice, coloured one, cut it out and adhered it to the designer paper. On the second printed image I coloured a section of  the flowers, cut that out  and placed it on top of the adhered image.  Gave it a nice dimensional look.

Rocking Chair

Rocking Chairs, how can you not love them. My late husband bought me one similar to this in 1989 when our son was born. A dear friend of mine told him it was a necessity so off he went and brought one home. Still have it although it has been designated to the crawl space. Maybe to be used for a grand kid?? We will see.

This wonderful image is from Beccy's Place and is the free image for the Outlaws  Progressive Challenge provided you had participated in the last one. You can always buy it and join the challenge and receive a free stamp for the next months challenge. Too fun!

A simple and for me, a plain card I made for the May 2016 Outlawz progressive challenge and their Wednesday Sketch Challenge.    Love the image by  Ppinkydollsart. her name is Fifi and she does look sad but hope she enjoys her day anyway :O)! The papers are all from  Stampin' Up. I used a stamp called Splatter Pattern I bought at Michaels many years ago for the 'River Rock' background paper. The image was coloured  with Copics. A fun and fast card.

BDay Strawberry Card

The fabulous strawberry stamp was bought years ago from Flourishes and this is only the  second time I have used it. So pretty.

I made a double bow and added  pearls for accents. The grass was from a Cherry Lynn Die Cut.  I stamped the image twice so I could make  some of the leaves, berries and flowers dimensional. The sentiment is Stampin' Up's. 

This one is going to one of my lovely step daughters.
Thanks for visiting.
