Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 25 - Blog Candy

It's time for a new Colour Crazy challenge and the theme, as always is

Anything Goes

This week we don't have a sponsor for the challenge but there is some blog candy on offer for the lucky winner!

I've used a no longer available Kenny K image, coloured with Promarkers and then added to the large numbers which are my own templates, using papers from Dovecraft - Back to Basics 3 which I've had to paper piece together as the stack was only 6x6.

I've added liquid pearl dots around the edges of the numbers and also on the banners plus half pearls here and there.  Sentiment has been cut with Clearly Besotted dies.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Big Forty

I was asked to make a 40th Birthday card for a male and to include some specifics including sky diving, photography, army and motorbikes ........

So, I've used 'snapshots' of various Dr Digi images - Corporal Clegg -  A Dunderton Abroad for the camera  and Harley Claus, each image has been coloured with Promarkers and watercolour pencils and I've used some plain blue card I found in my stash (templates are my own for the large numbers) and added some ink daubs and Memory Box die cut clouds.

The Happy Birthday die cuts are from Clearly Besotted - I've cut a few and layered them up.

Quick 40

This will be a rather quick post as I'm feeling a bit ropey and once again, its been a hectic day!  The card I am sharing (and being part of A Card A Day group - I'm hoping (everything crossed) that I can do all of November and December!!) today is a very quick make and a bargain too!

It's a Ready to Print Square Card kit from The Clip Art Fairy and it was a bargain at 15p!!  But be quick the closing down sale is only on until the end of November.  I've printed it directly onto my linen effect white card (The Papermill), added the sentiment and did a bit of glittering (around the edge of the card and also the number) with some stickles and added three pearls to balance the card.

I've had the pearls for absolute ages and actually forgot I had them as was looking for something else at the time!  So that was a nice surprise!

And another nice surprise for today was that Jacob's football team won their first match of the season this morning!  They've moved indoors (yeah - no more muddy fields and sub-zero temps on a Saturday morning!) and onto astro turf which they train on so they are more used to it.  They won either 9-2 or 10-2 - we're not sure as we were that chuffed they won!!  It's been a long time coming as they are a really good gelled team that pass to each other and have two good goalies (one being Jacob who also plays in defense).
