Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #55 and Mad For Markers Challenge:Pink and Yellow


Here's my card for Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #55. I'm also entering this into my very first Mad For Markers Challenge: Pink and Yellow. I love coloring with my Copic markers -I'm learning and practicing! I thought I'd jump in to this challenge - thank you Mad For Markers!


This cute little hamster holding a cupcake is a digital image from Sliekje Digi Stamps. Sliekje is so talented! And the digital images she draws and shares on her blog are free! That is so generous. I just love all her images.

For this 5x7 card I used:
Sliekje digital image/stamp Cupcake Hamster
Cricut Imagine Better Together cartridge -all patterned papers
Technique Tuesday Happy Birthday stamp
Copic markers
tiny pearl accents

This was a great sketch! Thanks Peachy Keen! I entered this card with minutes to spare as the challenge was about to close. Wow, it was close. And of course my camera wasn't cooperating. Some strange setting appeared and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off so many of the pictures I took were blurry. So these pictures are not the best but at least I figured out later how to fix the camera.


My two little girls wanted to color this cute little hamster too and I told them I'd put a picture of their work on the blog. They didn't get to use my Copics!! They did such a good job! I'm enjoying that we can all work together in our craft space even though it makes me a bit crazy when they get into some of my stuff - but it's just stuff so I take a deep breath and try to keep a smile on my face. But the Copics are still off limits :-).

Thank you for stopping by. Please leave a comment with your blog address so I can visit you!

  13. Hi Chris

    Thank you for your kind comments on my card over at Mad For Markers.

    Your card is gorgeous, love the sweet image. The pearls on the cupcake look fabulous.

    It is wonderful that you can share your craft with your daughters too, I know my little boys love it when I set them up on the table with loads of paper and embellies etc.

    Thank you for playing along at Mad For Markers.
