Hello Friends!
I am posting the weekly challenge a tad early this weekend as my son is graduating Saturday! I've homeschooled him all 13 years... need I say I'm getting a little sentimental? I'm so proud of the young man he has become and direction he wants to go with his life. Sigh... They do grow up so fast don't they?
Ok... On to the challenge!
I love this weeks colors and the design teams inspirations are awesome!! I do hope you'll play along!!
Challenge 9 colors- B26, BG15, R29 and any shade of gray (warm, cool or neutral)

Here are the design teams cards:

Artful Sentiments Copic Challenge 6

Goodmorning Friends,
Welcome to copic challenge 6! This weeks colors were inspired by tender spring blossoms! Challenge colors are: YG11, R20, B21 and any other marker from the blue family.

I started coloring a floral for today's challenge card, then got distracted by a new stamp. For a moment, I felt unfaithful to the image I started with... but that new carousel stamp from Hearts in Touch kept calling my name. Am I the only stamper that hears voices from my stamps lol?
I'm happy to share that we have a guest designer for the month of May, Becky Peterson! She jumped right in with this weeks colors. I hope you enjoy the design teams artistic interpretation of the colors for the week and that it will inspire you to color!

Artful Sentiments Copic Challenge 5

Hey girls!
It is going to be almost 90 degrees here in Memphis today! The sun is shinning and there is a nice breeze. Beautiful weather. Jealous? Get a taste of summer with this weeks copic challenge!!

This weeks colors are: BG15, YG06, RV09 and any color from the yellow family.


My sample card for the week:
No fancy blending or shading here. Simple straight up coloring! I did color my clear rhinestone brads with the matching copic marker for each flip flop. The stamp image is by Imaginesce.... cost a buck. The rick rack I've had in my sewing supplies for... I dont know... probably years! I've really gotten into the look of rick rack on my cards. I want to share that my 12yr old daughter picked the colors for this week. They are very much her style:)
Have a fun day!

Happy Hello!

Hello Friends
These happy little images are from an inchies set by Inkadinkado. I used Copics of course for the coloring: B21, B24, R29, Y11, YR04, G28, C1. The background paper is by BoBunny... love how the dots match with the stamps!
Here is the larger set of images put together in a scene. When doing the squares it helps to find the center point on your cardstock and adhere that center image first. The other images then can be spaced at 1/4" apart.

Have a happy day!!

New Challenges for you!

Hello Friends
I have fallen in love with coloring again!! I sat on the fence about investing in Copic markers way too long last year! The ability to layer colors, blend perfectly and the range of colors available have made them #1 in my book.
To help me with some inspiration I've been following the Copic Colour Challenge Blog. Great inspiration and wonderful samples posted by their DT! I can't wait until they post their challenges on Wednesday!! To help tide me over... and hopefully a few other Copic addicts out there... I'm going to post weekend Copic challenges right here on Artful Sentiments by Kimm BT.
I will give you a list of 3 specific colors and one color family. You choose any or all of those specific colors and one from the color family for your artwork. Don't worry if you do not have the exact color... work with what you have. Post the link to share your artwork in the Mister Linky box.

Your first selections are: B24-Sky, G99-Olive, Y21-Buttercup Yellow

And any selection from the EARTH tones family.

This should give you a good range to work with.

On the Shore card colors used: E53, W3, YR23, BG000, BG10, B24, YG23, YG17, G99, R29, R59, BV000
Stamp Credits- Stampin' UP! The side panel technique is Bandana by Technique Junkies.
Don't forget to share your artwork using Mister Linky! Have Fun!!
