Day 9 - Coloring Book Card


Today is day 9 of Kathy Racoosin's 30 day coloring challenge. And for today I am sharing another coloring book card that I colored during days 6-8 and finished today. 




Day 6 landed on Sunday and I don't always have a lot of time to color or create anything. Excuse the mess at the bottom of the page, I was trying out some different colors.




For Day 7, just like Day 6, I didn't have a lot of time to color. But this time the problem happened to be orders, which is a good problem to have mind you. 




I added some yellow to the mix for Day 8. I hated that the process was going slow but love how it all unfolded.




And for Day 9 I finally finished the card. It kind of reminds me of a stained glass window. What do you think?




I hope you enjoyed today's card. Come back tomorrow for another fun card. And just a reminder, you can follow my coloring journey on Instagram. jessica.marie.backer


Supplies I used: 
cardstock - red, teal, black, and yellow
coloring book page - Coloroma, Color Me Happy! 
markers - Crayola
sentiment - LJD For the Boys clear stamp set (My Favorite Things)

Day 5 - Birthday Wishes Card


Today I'm sharing a clean and simple card for Day 5. 






Again I used my cheap markers for the butterfly. I'm starting to get real comfortable using them even if they don't blend as well as the more favored brands. 









I used washi tape along the side, but of course a strip of paper could be used. 



I hope you enjoyed today's card. Come back next week for some more fun projects. Remember, I may not always blog everyday but I will blog at once a week and will highlight the days I missed. And if you are on Instagram, you can also follow my coloring adventure here Jessica.Marie.Backer 



Supplies I Used: *Paper Studio 
white cardstock
dandelion and sentiment clear stamp  - Dandelion stamp set (Technique Tuesday)
butterfly clear stamp - Take Flight stamp set (Technique Tuesday)
pink polka dot washi tape - Paper Studio
markers - Crayola

Day 4 - Coloring Book Card




It is now Day 4 of  the 30 day coloring challenge and I am sharing a card that I made from a coloring book page that I was working on days 2 and 3 and just finished today. 





I brought out my markers for this. Unfortunately all I have are crayola markers; I do plan on getting a better set, just haven't been able to yet. 





  After I finished the page, I trimmed it up and glued it to a turquoise sheet of cardstock.




I then cut the sentiment "Aloha" out of gold glitter cardstock with the Cricut machine and attached it to a frosted sheet of vellum. I then placed a bit of eye candy embelishment in the corners of the vellum paper. 





I absolutely love this card turned out, it's so bright and cheery and was a lot of fun coloring! 


Well, I hope you enjoyed today's card. Here's a little sneak peek of tomorrows card. 





Supplies I used: *Paper Studio and La Petite are found at Hobby Lobby
Turquoise textured cardstock
Tropical coloring page - True Colors adult coloring book (Penny Press)
Frosted white vellum
Gold glitter cardstock
Aloha sentiment die cut - Summer Love cartridge (Cricut)
Cricut machine 
Eye candy embellishment - Paper Studio
