I did this card for the challenge over to CDAC. I colored it in with my copics, mounted it under some brown card stock I had sprayed with Tattered Anges coffee shop, added a few little star fish and a crab I had, and topped it off with a saying from Ginger's.
The colors I used are as follows:
R39, 46, 20
YR09, 16, 20
B79, 66, 63

I've never done koi before so I had to do a goggle search to see what they looked like. I colored them in with my copics and added a few lilac crystals  for bling. I didn't color the water in as the first one I did I did color it but I prefer it uncolored. It was just too blue/green.
The copics I used are as follows:

I colored him in with my copics, I wanted him to really pop of the card so I used a a variation of shaded from the dsp. I used a wide ribbon to wrap the card stock with and used dimensionals to mount him. I left him pretty well unadorned as I am using him as a note card.
The copics I used are as follows:

I had fun doing up Mandy for the challenge over to Sassy Studios. I colored her in with my copics, cut her out so I could mount her with dimensionals, used gold glitter for the earings, necklace and green on her body, added ribbons, and finaly I added pearls to make it look like she had thrown them out. I also used pearls for her necklace.
The following copics I used are as follows:
E18, 15, 00

This is my first steam punk and I am so happy with her!! She came out so much better than I thought.
I got the digi from mayzart studios and I lucked out when I came across dezianworld, she has the best steam punk things I've found!! I hope you like Zipha as much as I do. I did use dark colors in the back because I wanted her to pop.
I colored her in my copics, used creative memories metalic silver pen for the buckles, used dimensionals to mount her so she would pop more, and finally I used a few crystals for bling.

I've been busy visiting others web sites and viewing their old posts this weekend to see what I could find for ideas and learn new techniques. I've seen many things I'm waiting to try.

I'm a little confused about the freebies. After viewing a couple sites I'm not sure if the freebies are theirs or someone elses. What really gets me is that they have on their blogs to give them credit, not post the freebies on the net for others, etc., etc. Yet from what I can see they are in violation of the code themselves.  I don't even dare to post a card I made with a digi from someone that's not a challenge!! I'm just really confused.

I did get a few nice digi's this week for the challenges and I'm waiting to see what I'm going to get from CDAC. I got most of  them colored today so I'm on track so far to posting everything Thursday.

I guess I'm most anxious to  try the flower techniques. I think I'm going to place an order for some ribbon so I can try at least one of the techniques. I've watched so many different web cams this weekend to learn. I love the roses on the cards and I want to be able to use them myself.

Til next time.

I did this card for the Sassy challenge, I know I'm a week late. Yet I'm reall happy with the way it came out. This is the first time I've ever done hair like this so it was a new techneque for me to try. I was originally just going to use flower soft so I'm extremely happy with the choice I made.

I colored her in with my copics, used dimensionals to pop her up, mounted her on a piece of suede card stock, added a saying from Giner's House, and finally I added large blue crystals for bling. I hope you like her.

The copics I used are as follows:
Y17, Y00, Y38, R32, E21, E01, E00, R30, E15, BG09, BG10, BG13, BG15, E43, G17, R29, RV23, RV19, RV25.

This is the card I did for the current challenge over to Sassy Studios. I happy with the way it came out. I really wanted flowers but I'm low on them so I used a lot of printed flowers I have to build one. I added a saying from Ginger's House to it. I just love the sayings I get from Gringer's and Paulette over at TLC!!

I colored her in with my copics, cut her out to help her pop more, mounted her on a doily, added the flower, saying, and a couple of pearls for added bling. I hope you like her.

The copics I used are as follows:
E00, E21, E23, R20, E47, E49, E43, G05, YG11, YG06.

This is the card I did for the Outlaws challenge.  I colored him in with my copics and added a saying I had from Giner's House. I kept it real simple as I made it for my oldest son who is my fisherman.
The copics I used are as follows:
BG49, BG23, Y28, G000, YG41, R29, B06, B04, B00, E00, E21, E23, G5, YG06, YG11, C01, C03, E47, E43, R46, R37, R000, and 100.

I have been real busy lately.

My oldest spent the weekend with me working on his cars. Needless to say I've spent the last three days cleaning up from him. I know I raised him better so I'm putting it down to being on the ground so much under the cars. My youngest spent Sunday with him helping to finish up.

The pup got a new home late Thursday night. I really miss him but I'm not missing the messes, I'm still trying to catch the house up to normal from him. I've been taking it room by room so I'm getting there, only another 4 to go, Yeah hah!!!

The cats are a lot more content and acting normal again. My AJ got over his upset from the change in a couple of days and is enjoying the quiet again which is good for him. He's just so old I need to do what's best for him while I have him. I don't think I'll try to put him through another one of our winters so I want him happy while he's here.

I'm real excited as I did a card for CDAC to use in one of the new challenges. This is the first time for me so I'm nervous about how it will be recieved. Needless to say I can't up load it yet as I have to wait for the challenge to come out.

Now to upload the other cards I did this weekend.

This is my entry for Sassy's challenge, I am late getting her in though where I've been so sick. I hope you like her.
I colored her in with my copics, added a few blue crystals, and finally a bow.

I thought she was a doll when I saw her. She's the only card I got done for this round in the Outlaw challenge though as I've been sick. I hope you like her.

It's been a bad week for me. This cold went into my chest so I've had a hard time breathing. Needless  to say it also effects the nerves in my neck and I end up with the shakes on top of a lot of pain.
I was able to get two cards done, one for each challenge, thankfully because I was able to start them before I got so sick. I just finished them today though so I'm late for the Sassy challenge.
Here they are, I hope everyone likes them.

I've been playing around with skin tones. I'm never really happy with them, I just can't get the tone right.

Now the d--- pup thinks he can lay in the bathroom all the time. He just pushed on my shut off line for the toilet and the plactic piece broke that screws onto the tank. Hopefully between the voice mail and the IM my son can pick one up to drop off on his way home. Now I have a ton of laundry to do, my whole bathroom was soaked in just the few minutes it took me to find the noise when he came flying out of the hallway. Oh well, I'll add it to my list.

My son is a total doll. He just texted me to let me know he'll be here when he gets out of work.

I guess I need to get to the laundry so I can get back to working on the skin tones. I just didn't realize it was going to be so hard to do, lol.

I hope everyone else is having a better afternoon.

I've been busy just coloring as I have not had any good days. Today I pushed myself to get a few cards done. I have more digi's colored to put on cards than I'll probably ever get finished, lol. Oh well, maybe I'll use some on my scrapbook pages. Well my dogs are ready to come in and my cats are done being ignored so I guess I need to get to them. Have a good night.

I loved these strawberries when Angela posted them over at Crafting With Jack as a freebie in her new blog store. I colored them in with my copics. I wanted it to be a simple card so I didn't add a  lot of jazz to it, I just added a couple of pearls to the tag.

This is my second card for Sassy Studio's challenge. I knew just what I wanted to do when I first saw her.
I colored her with my copics, added a flower and a little saying from Ginger's House to top it off. It was a quick easy card to do. I'm real happy with the way it came out, I hope  you like it also.

I'm so bad, I forgot to list the colors I used. lol. Here they are.
