A First For Me: Coloring & Cards (Challenge w/ Chandiwalsh & Queenbeescreations)

Hola everyone... I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. For me it is a quiet weekend at home because the kiddies are not feeling well. Hoping they will be better soon as I am definitely falling behind on projects... Lol... And of course, I hate it when they are sick... you can't help but be sad for them... I have been spoiling them rotten with movies and cuddling on the couch... Lol...

And so on to some cards... I wanted to share some coloring I did and my first attempt on blending... I watched Arlene's (mybutterflykisses12) video on using paint thinner (100% mineral spirits) & stumps.. Loved it... I tried it and loved how it came out... Of course, I only have a set of 24 cheapy pencils but I am hoping to get some prisma pencils soon.. Fingers crossed!!!

And since I am involved in a "use only what you have" challenge with Chandi (yt: chandiwalsh) & Angie (yt: queenbeescreations) I decided to use the images on our first challenge. The challenge was to create 2 cards with the theme being Spring. Here is the final product:

This one is called "Ready for Summer"... I know it is silly to name my cards... but it helps with the thought process when I know what I am looking for in the card...

Here is a closeup so you can see the blending.

This is "Spring Has Sprung". I used a ready made card and added a little more to it with some glitter glue. I then added the Twirl Anya image and a stamped saying by Making Memories.

I call this one "You Are My Friend"... It is the Fancy Anya image, $1.00 store flower, a doillie above a nestabilitie... I rounded the corners with my corner chomper... I really loved how this one came out...

I just can't wait to get my prismas so that I can color their face and body as well...

Well, thanks for coming.. Have a wonderful blessed weekend...

Much love.
