The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 30



This is the last day of the coloring challenge.
This image is from Dover Publications that I got off of Google.
I had the sentiment and I thought it would look great with Crocus.
I colored with Prisma Colored pencils.
Washi take is the background.
Hubby just loved this card,
I like it but I did not think it was that great!

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 29



I am in a new pen pal group 
and this morning I got up early
and made cards for some of the group.
I will write inside these this afternon
and get them to the mailbox.
I used the Rubbernecker stamp I got
at the Whipper store in Wisconsin.
You stamp the images in black and then
go back and stamp the middles with watercolor.
I forgot to use watercolor paper but I thought they
turned out nice anyway.
I wanted something simple as I had
to make so many.

Spring is coming!

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 27



This is another one of those big Stampin Up flowers that I told you
that you would see again.
I used Spectrum Noir markers and put a pretty border around it.
I just noticed that my bow is wonky.  
I should have fixed it before I took the picture!
I hope this is enough birthday cards.
I was really out!

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 25



I got this stamp in the mail today 
and decided to ink it up.
I water colored it with Zig markers
I am not the best at water coloring, but I am learning.
I read somewhere that your water color picture is supposed to look sloppy!
I thought it needed a nice border so I used this scalloped border.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 24



I colored this flower from Stampin Up with my Spectrum Noir markers.
I actually stamped and colored a bunch of them in different shades
so you will see those on later blog posts.
The sentiment is from Stampin Up also.
I am trying to use up things in my craft room
so I had an idea to put vellum over top of printed paper.
I liked the way it turned out and might use vellum more often.

My intention was to make a bunch of cards today but that did not
happen as we got 7 inches of snow dumped on us.
I went out and helped John shovel and fed the birds etc.
After that I never got back in my craft room.
I am going to calling hours now so maybe when
I get back, I can go up there this evening and create.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 23





My cousin asked me to make her some dog cards.
I had these dog stamps 
 and decided to ink them up.
I have never taken coloring lessons
and I know my coloring has a lot to 
be desired.
I know she will like them anyway
as I am always my worst critic.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 22



I heat embossed this Gina K. stamp in black
and then went back and used Distress Oxides.
I did this before and used a white pen on the flowers
but I liked this one with out the white better.
I recently saw a video where you color this
with Distress Oxides and then put
it back in your Misti and stamp
the black again.
I will have to do that next time as I
think it would look nice.

The Daily Marker Day Coloring Challenge Day 21



I got these coloring cards from Taylored Expressions
and I colored this one with Zig Markers.
I used an embossing folder to give some texture on the card.
The scalloped dies are from Ali Express.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 20



My friend Dolly was closing her store and 
I got this Penny Black stamp from her.
I colored it with Zig Markers.
I only made two of these but it is so pretty
I might have to make a bunch more.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 19





I needed two retirement cards.
I used heat embossed them and
then used Distress Oxides on both of them
The first one is for and lady
and the second for a man.
I really like these Distress Oxide inks
and have a lot to learn about them.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 18



This flower stamp I have had for years.
I recently got the matching dies and 
have been using it a lot now,
The flower and dies are from Gina K.
I colored them with my Studio 71 Markers.
That cool twine was gifted to me from my
friend Cindy.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 17



My beautician asked me to make her several baby cards.
This is one of the the ones I made her today.
The stamp is from Michael's Crafts.
I colored with my Studio 71 alcohol markers.

Masculine Cards














I love flowers and always make flower cards.
I need some masculine cards in my stash,
so today I went out of my comfort zone and made several 
of each of these cards.
Not my best cards but much needed cards.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 16



Here is another water color card.  
I am not the best and need to learn to do it better.
I like all the pretty colors and 
of course flowers are right down my alley.
Notice the brads.  I decided to use
up what is in my craft room and
I have plenty of brads!!!!!

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 15


I thought I would get out my Zig markers and
do some water coloring.
I have come to the conclusion that I suck
at water coloring.
I colored this image and then cut
it up because I did not like it.
I framed it with an oval and mounted
it on some printed paper.
Was not sure I like the color combination
but it grew on me.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 14



This card was made from a sketch challenge from OWH.
I wasn't sure I liked it at first and then after
a while it grew on me.
I have been needing sympathy cards like crazy
and this one can be sympathy or get well.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 13


This is another stamp I got on sale at Hobby Lobby.
I colored it with my Studio 71 alcohol markers.
I got out my brads and decided to start using them.
The embossing folder is from Darice.
The white double stitch die is from Gina K. and the 
background red die is from Ali-express.
I made 2 of these as I thought they came out nice.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 12



A couple more birthday cards for my personal stash.
I used a sketch from OWH.
The sentiment and flowers are from my stash.
The double stitched dies are from Gina K.
I am making all these pink cards and I better
get making some masculine cards.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 11



Hobby Lobby was marking their stamps way down
and of course I had to jump on that bandwagon.
I got this stamp and colored it with my 
Spectrum Noir markers.
It is prettier in person as my photo is really crooked!

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 10



I am so behind on making birthday cards.
I made 2 of these today.  
I got these little stamp and die sets
 and I just love them.
They are so easy to color and then cut out.
I used Gina K. double stitched dies 
to mount the flowers on.
The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge Day 9


My friend Monica lost her daughter this week and I had to
make this sympathy card.  The worst kind of card to make.

I thought the card came out beautiful so I made 4 
more for my personal stash.
