Through The Craft Room Door Guest Designer

Hello Friends!

Today I'm excited to share a creation that I made as the Guest Designer

for the 'Through The Craft Room Door Challenge Blog'!

Last month I was honored to have my card chosen as winner  ...

and if that wasn't exciting enough, they also asked me to be a guest designer

and the card I share today will also be in the Through The Craft Room Door Magazine.

 How cool is that!!!  Thanks so much to Deonna and team for this opportunity!

The theme is ANYTHING GOES and the sponsor is Morgan's Art World

Today I'm creating with the image titled 'Cat in Flowers'

I have a lot of friends who are cat lovers so I'm sure I'll be

using this image over and over again for various occasions.  

I must admit ... this is a really cute kitty!!

Here's a close up of my coloring ... it's not perfect ...

but not too bad either.

 I've used both Spectrum Noir alcohol markers (kitty) and Spectrum Noir pencils (flowers) for the coloring on today's image.  I haven't taken the time to color with the pencils very much but I will be now because I REALLY liked working with them!!

I do hope you will check out the Through The Class Room Door blog

and then come join in the fun.  It's a great place to be ... lots going on!

Guest Designer Spot

Happy Friday my friends and welcome to the last day of November!

WOW can you believe tomorrow is December 1st?

This year is sure flying!

Anyways, I'm here to share with you the creation I made as Guest Designer for this week's challenge at Through The Craftroom Door!  I can't tell you how thrilled I was to receive the email from Sandi asking me to be the guest designer at their challenge blog!  The challenge this time around is ANYTHING GOES and the sponsor for the challenge is Jackson's Digital Expressions.  Checkout this awesome Jackson digi Sandi sent me to create with.  Being in need of a holiday card gift set for a friend, I thought this image would work perfectly!  What do you think?

With the digi image being so detailed (and my eyes being older, lol), I printed out the image in a large size on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet then after coloring, scanned and printed it to the size needed for my set of cards.  This worked perfectly since I was making a set of six cards and wanted them to all be the same.

Recipe of items used:
Papers:  K&Co. Christmas dp, Paper Pizazz Music Score dp, Christmas red cs, White cs
Stamp: Hero Arts Sentiment
Accessories:  Prismacolor markers, Zig markers, Cheery Lynn Designs B184 Holly Corner die, Joann's red satin ribbon, various colors of Stickles

Here's a close-up so you can see the sparkle on all the tree decorations.  This was such a fun image to color and I'm sure I will use it again and again!
