This week WWC175 is all about the guys. I’ve made a couple of cards this week for this challenge. The first one is all about fishing. Since many of the men in our lives enjoy the sport of fishing, why not show it off using Lawn Fawn’s stitched windows with the Gina Marie Fishing die set and the small turtle from IO stamps.   For this next card I used Stampin Up’s One Wild Ride stamp set. I want to continue to show off some of the new Stampin Up colors, Merry Merlot and Gray Granite. This card is perfect for the guy who loves his motorcycle. Plus who doesn’t want to take a ride on the open road of Route 66!

I guess I’m not surprised I’m behind on posting my coloring again... Although I’ve been continuing to try and color daily, I did miss a couple days because of those pesky 12 hour work shifts from the regular job. I will post more pics over the next few days so you can see what I’ve been working on. I decided to tryout out my new watercolors from Grambacher with strathmore watercolor paper I had on hand. The stamp is Loving Lily 2 from Impression Obsession. This is the first time I’ve used watercolor paints and I feel pretty good about this first card. I felt keeping this image simple would help me from turning the colors muddy. I hope you all enjoy it and check back for more cards this week.

This stamp is great for coloring with any colors depending on your mood. I also wanted to continue to show off these new “In Colors” for 2018-2020. These new colors are rich, vibrant colors. I always like colors that pop to draw your eye to the card. These cards will make fabulous Thank You and note cards for any occasion. As well, you could use the “hello” card as a birthday card by just adding a happy birthday sentiment to the inside.

They are so easy to use. I watched a couple videos first, which showed both ways to directly and indirectly apply the color. Plus great ways for blending the colors, as well as using the Dove Blender with these markers. This stamp is by Sparkle N Sprinkle, called Fish Whisperer. I loved it as soon as I saw it at the stamp show earlier this month. It’s also perfect for coloring too, so it’s a win, win for me.

Then I also had to work 3 - 12 hour shifts back-to-back, which is completely exhausting for me anytime let alone when I’m sick. But luckily I did get back to some coloring, and made a few cards. These cards I’m featuring are all done with alcohol markers. I used mostly Spectrum Noir and a few of the new Stampin Blends. All these cards feature stamps by Stamping Bella, because their stamps are so great to color. Happy stamping and you can jump into this color challenge today. Check it out now!

This was actually my day 3 coloring using plain, cheap colored pencils I had laying around. This stamp is Stamping Bella’s Uptown girl Vienna and her Vespa. I love Stamping Bella stamps! Stamping Bella is always great for coloring with great, fun designs. I used the new Stampin Up in colors Blueberry Bushel and Pineapple Punch DSP to show off this color creation.

I picked out the Bamboo Bucket from Rubbernecker and then the Lotus and Gerbera Daisy from Purple Daisy. Day 2 - I have a few precut card bases. Today I used the shimmery white cardstock from Stampin Up. This is a heavy card stock, feels like #110. I used my Misti to layer the stamps, and grabbed some post-its I had handy (why waste good masking paper.) I covered the images with post-its for the little layering around the bucket. Then for the coloring I use a combination of Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and the new Stampin Blends.

I’m looking to improve my coloring with different tools and hopefully improve over the next month. Day #1 thedailymarker30day actually started yesterday June 1st. Although I had a late start, since the local stamp show yesterday and today, I was too tired to post pics last night of my first coloring challenge using plain sharpie markers we all have around the house. Plus if you’re a nurse in your real job then you use them to write out labels for those IVF & IV meds. I hope you enjoy my journey with color th color as much as I hope too! 🌈    List of supplies:
Impression Obsession Rubber Stamps Sweet Treats Sharpie Products Sharpie fine point markers Faber Castell Products Pitt artist pen super fine in black Sakura Products Gelly Roll pen in white Life’s Memories and More Products Handmade journal with mixed media paper  This month is all about Masculine cards. So that means it’s all about the guys in our lives. I find the Truly Tailored suite to be a good basic for most guys, since it has some neutrals along with fun prints. The coordinating stamps really work well for those professional guys, as well as the everyday guy. Then I used the new Handwritten stamp for some pattern on the first card since it felt plain to me. This stamp is in the new catalog and really is a great stamp to add some pattern without using DSP sometimes. I added some gold twine and corduroy ribbon to add more texture to the cards. As well as rounding the corners using the Detailed Trio punch available today in the new catalog! Then one of my favorite the Birthday Witt stamp set is such a fabulous way to say Happy Birthday to most people in our lives. I hope you enjoy these cards as much as I did making them. Check back for the May Paper Pumpkin cards I made this month. They are a masculine theme and with Father's Day around the corner it was a great choice.
