Surf's Up

 Surf's Up - Cowabunga Dude!!!!! I asked my 7 year old grandson which image to ask for to use for this challenge and he picked this surfing dragon. He is a really cool guy (like my grandson.)

The fortnight's sketch for Seems a Little Sketchy is a really easy one to use and for once, I didn't turn it!

Here is Jenn's lovely sketch. She does an amazing job making all of our sketches.

My image is by Stamping Dragon, who is our sponsor for this challenge. I colored it with Copic's then added some mud puddles that has been in my stash for 3 years and only been used one time prior to this. Which is too bad, because it really is a fun product to use. I also used some Judykins Diamond glaze on his googles.

I had a lot of fun creating spots on the dragon. It is so fun to do using colorless blender.

Hope you will come and play with us at Seems a Little Sketchy!

Keep Swimming

 Keep Swimming - The challenge at Craft Your Days Away is Olympic Dreams and we are sponsored by Bugaboo.

Everyone has dreams, but for most of us it doesn't include the Olympics. It is just to high of a bar for most of us to reach. This makes the Olympics and our awesome athletes all the more modern day heros. It is more than just training, it is that rare blend of talent, training and opportunity.

I am proud of what the athletes from my country have accomplished and of how hard they have all worked to get there.

My DP are from Target's Dollar spot. I bought this package about 5 years ago, so it has been in my stash for a long time.

My star punch is MS. I used a few star buttons.

My image is Bugaboo's BF Swimming and is colored with Copics.

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Are You Ready For Some Football? - Seems a Little Sketchy is sponsored this challenge by Crafty Sentiments. Here is the sketch. Isn't is a fun one?

This adorable image is Crafty Sentiments "Charles Bear Lets Play." My sentiment is also by Crafty Sentiments. My DP is Little Yellow Bicycles' Love Letters. I cut the helmet with my Cricut using Sports Mania and inked everything with Ranger's Black Soot ink. I have had the Sports Mania cartridge but this is the first time that I used it.

I colored the image with Copics. I am taking Copic classes with Suzanne Dean and one of our class assignments was to color an image using the dotting techinque to make the image look soft and cuddly with some texture. This was the one that I did for the class. If you look at my post below this you will see that I used the same techique, but this is the image that I first colored with this technique.
