Penny's Challenge #554 Anything Goes

 Hi everyone!  I must apologize beforehand.  My significant other is demanding my attention more and more.  He has not been diagnosed, but we the family do believe it is dementia.  So the only time I have to myself is when he is sleeping.  So I really need to get household chores done tonight.  So here are our sponsors.  


Prize~~2 digi images of the winners choice



Prize~~2 Single images of the winners choice

These 2 sponsors offer some of the most detailed images in our digi-verse.  I have found that if I give myself enough time I can get pretty creative.  Please go and say a thank you and leave some love.

This challenge I am using an image from Colour Of Love called Goddess of the moon.  I hope you like my creation.

I am very pleased with this card.  I haven't the faintest idea who
or what occasion yet.  It is all colored by hand using my Prisma-
color Pencils.  I also used a Sakura white gel pen for the moons
 and sparkle gel pens for the stars.  I cut the image down to fit
in a 5x7 card.  I made the envelope out of the same color as the
card.

Here is the inside.

The back.

I will be back in a fortnight with another project.  Coloring and creating is keeping me sane.  

So from my heart...

Stay Healthy, Stay safe and know you are blessed.

Penny's challenge #553

 Hello everyone!  Gosh I do hope that each of you are taking precautions in the heat this summer.  I am an Oregonion.  I have and still do reside in Oregon, U.S.A.  I can't remember it ever being this hot.  Sure we got 100's maybe one or two days a summer.  But this being over 100+ for days on end is not nice.  I really feel for everyone.  Oh, Maui we love you!!!  On to the challenge.

Our Sponsors are:

Mirtillamente Digital Stamps and Papers
Prize~~2 Digital images of the winners choice.


Last Minute Manda
Prize~~Voucher for 3 sets

Wow a couple of very talented artists.  Please go show some love and give them a thank you!  Thanks gang!

My little card is using an image from Last Minute Manda.  Little Bear Beach Days is the set.  I have chosen the little bear with the sea shells.  It's a childs card.  Here it is.

The base is white/blue card stock.  Next is a blue starry
background.  (Paper is old). I used my Shuttle Art
Alcohol Markers to color the image.  Die cut a line of
clouds to use as the sand.  


Here is the inside.


The back.
So that is it for this challenge.  I will be back in 2 weeks with another creation.  So from my heart,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed.

Penny's Challenge #552

 Hello everyone!  Well I did something really stupid today.  I sent out a birthday card.  It turned out beautiful.  I was very proud of it.  I DIDN'T TAKE PICS FOR A DT PROJECT.  And, It's going to Europe.  So tonight I will be starting another one.  At least I wrote down all the colored pencils and other mediums.  Oh Fun!!!  Let's see who our sponsors are for this challenge.

The Paper Shelter
Prize~~3 Digital images of the winners choice


SheepSki Designs
Prize~~3 Digital images of the winners choice


Aren't these two sponsors just great.  Very well known in the challenge world.  Very gracious also.  Go show some love gang and maybe a thank you is in order.

On with the blog!  My image is from the Paper Shelter  and is called "Would you by some flowers?"  The Paper Shelter has 3 ways to use their files. Color it yourself, use the background and color it yourself or use the colored image and background together.  Very cool right!  So I chose to color the image myself and make my own card.  So here we go...

The base card is a very nice medium blue color with a mat
of bright green.  The scenery is from a set of papers that I 
bought at Ross almost 10 years ago.  It's a prairie screen.  
I colored the little girl as if she was on the prairie.  I used
only primary colored clothes.  Her red hair sets off the 
wooden wagon very nicely.  She is selling purple wild flowers
All of the colors used are from the Arteza colored pencil
set of 120.



Here is more of the prairie paper.

This is the back.

Well that is it from my neck of the woods.  I hope you can play along.  I'll be back in two weeks with another project for Penny's Challenge.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay healthy, stay safe and know that you are blessed.
