Copics Colour Challenge #64

Here are the colours for this week's Copics Colour Challenge that have been chosen by me so I hope that you will be happy with them.


We are sponsored this week by Toodles and Binks who have very generously offered one lucky winner 2 Toodles and Binks stamps of their choice, plus a packet of Zoomz and a little bundle of embellies. A big thanks to Kay for putting together such a lovely prize. You can read more about the challenge and have a look at the beautiful cards from the DT this week Here


The image that I have used here is from Stamping Bella - just love this one! and the papers are a mixture of MME and Papermania. The flowers I think I got from Hobbycraft some time ago.

Hope you have some fund with this challenge.

Honey Bunny Copics Colour Challenge card

This is my first card usingone of the bunnies from the new digi collection which has just been released at Nutcrafters this week. Katie and Colette are giving one of these little cuties away free this week on the website - go check it out Here

On this card I have used Honey Bunny with Flower for this week's Copics Colour Challenge where we are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp this week. Please check it our Here and perhaps get a bit of inspiration from the the gorgeous cards from the DT with this week's pretty colours.

The papers are all from a Papermania pad and I have added some stickles to the flowers paper just for a bit of added sparkle. I have followed the sketch at Mojo Monday for this little card. (it is only 7.5cm x7.5cm)


There will be a sketch challenge later in the week over at Nutcrafters and a chance to win all these little digis so do keep checking and I will also post the details on my blog when I get them.

Have a Happy Bunny week.

Copics Colour Challenge #62

We have some more gorgeous colours for you to play with this week at Copics Colour Challenge.
We are sponsored this week by Crafts U Love and they have offered a fabulous prize of 3 CC designs stamps to one lucky winner - you can read all about it Here . Such a fab prize - I do so love CC Designs stamps.


Spookily enough, before I knew what this week's sponsore prize was, I had decided to use a CC Designs image on my card for this week's challenge. This one is from the Swiss Pixies range, the papers are all from Papermania as is the sentiment and the flowers are by prima. The sketch is the current one at Anyone for Anya where they have now opened the challenge up to CC Designs stamps as well at Greetings Farm ones.


I do hope that you have lots of fun with these gorgeous colours.

Copics Colour Challenge #61

Here we are at Wednesday again (where does the time go?) and time for another Copics Colour Challenge. This week we welcome back another of our regular sponsors, InStyle. InStyle offer fabulous designs in digi and rubber which are just a dream to colour.
InStyle are very generously offering this weeks winner 2 digi images from their huge range.
To win, all you need to do is to create something using the following Copic Colours.


I just love these really pretty colours. But if you haven't got these colours.... well, you know the drill by now! Please just use the nearest Copic in your collection which gives roughly the same effect.


You will need to excuse the quality of my photos today. I was running really late with getting my cards finished last night and brought them into work to take the pics first thing this morning. When I got my camera out it appears that I must have left it switched on the last time and the battery had run out. I was in a real panic not knowing what to do, but then had the thought that I could try using my mobile phone - not the best quality of photo, but as this is a DT card and I did not want to let the team down - I guess that anything is better than nothing.

As you can see, I have used one of InStyle's gorgeous imnages and the papers are all by DCWV and I have just cut the little flowers from one of the pieces of paper.

Do pop on by the CCC blog Here to see the gorgeous cards from the others on the DT and read all about this week's challenge.

Oh nearly forgot to mention - I have used the current sketch at Papertake Weekly.

Copics Colour Challenge #60

Hello and welcome to another Copics Colour Challenge. We are sponsored by Toodles and Binks and they have kindly offered 2 Toodles and Binks stamps, a packet of Zoomz and a bundle of embellies! - great prize I think.

I have used this cute little freebie digi image from Bugaboo Images this week on my Get Well card. I have created the sentiment on the computer and the sketch that I have followed is from Friday Sketchers and what a great one this is, flower is by prima.


Sorry, yet again I cannot tell you who these papers are by!! These are some that I acquired when I raided by good friend Tracy's paper cupboard - thanks Tracy and I have no idea who they are by.

Have a great week and have fun with these colours.

Copics Colour Challenge #56

Here we go with another Copics Colour Challenge and this week we are sponsored by one of my favourites - In Style Stamps and as usual the DT have all had the opportunity to create something with these gorgeous images.


We also have some really pretty colours for you to work with this week, nice soft pastel colours which would also work well with all those Easter Cards.


I really love this little Birthday Cake girl image and I think that these papers from Wild Rose Studios were just made to go with this one. I have mixed and matched the papers from 2 of their ranges. I have followed the sketch at Create 4 fun this week.

Nutty Nutshells Challenge #11 using Copics Colour Challenge ~55 colours

I have been away with work for a couple of days this week so have taken the opportunity to combine two challenges in one card today. This cheerful Easter card features one of the fabulous new spring digi images from Nutcrafters and this one is called Easter Buddy Bear. The papers that I have used are all from last year's Imaginisce Easter pack.


My first challenge with this card is the new one at Nutty Nutshells Wednesday where we have the following fabulous sketch from Maria at Stampin Inspirations to follow and you can check out the prize on offer this fortnight and also view the gorgeous cards from the rest of the DT Here.


My second challenge is this week's challenge at Copics Colour Challenge where we have the following colours for you to use this week.


These colours are not astricky as they first look. Think shadows and stuff. Remember, if you don't have these exact Copic colours, you can just use something near. Also remember that you can add whatever colours you want to this combo, just like our DT did Here.

So, 2 fabulous challenges with 2 brilliant prizes this week for you to have a go at and remember, just like I have done, you could combine the two with one card!

Have fun.

Copics Colour Challenge #53

Well another snowy Wednesday here - when is it all going to end!. On a brighter note, it is time for another challenge at Copics Colour Challenge and this week we are sponsored by Stretch'n'bubbles digi stamps who are offering 4 digi stamps to our winner this week. The DT were all given a couple of images to work with and you can see what they came up with Here as well as read about our new DT members who I hope you will all give a warm welcome to.

Here are the colours for this week:

I have chosen to use the cute little bird image and have made a little tag with it which I have then attached to this little bag of eggs that I have also made a topper for. The papers are all by doodlebug as are the stickers on the bag topper. I do so love these bright spring colours.

Copics Colour Challenge - #49

Here are the colours for this week's challenge over at Copics Colour Challenge.


Now, we know this doesn't look like a massively exciting combo, but we thought that it should actually be a nice easy one for you as you have a skin tone, blush and hair colour just sat there, waiting to be called upon! Add whatever colours you like and you are good to go!

Please remember though that if you are missing some of the colours, we still want you to join in with us. Just have a rifle through your Copics and pull out something similar. As long as the overall effect is the same, you are more than welcome to play along.


I have challenged myself this week to try something a bit different and to use darker coloured papers. I have had this pad from K&Co for ages and just love the papers in it, but have really struggled to put a card together with them in the past and have played around with them many times. I hope you like what I have come up with - it is growing on me!! The image is from Sugar Nellie and the flowers are by prima. I have followed the square version of the sketch on offer this week from Mojo Monday.


Please check out the copic colour challenge blog Here to see what the rest of the DT have created this week and also to read all about the fab stamp that Janet from Pink Gem Designs is offering as our prize this week.
