The Outlawz Friday Coloring Friendship Challenge

Good Friday to you all. It is time for a new coloring challenge at The Outlawz. This week we are celebrating "Friendship" in honor of Friendship Day, which is the first Sunday in August. Yes, People, I did say August. Can you believe it? Neither can I. Anyway we have a new sponsor this month--Bombshell Stamps--and the prize for our randomly-selected participant will be one digi set. So get busy coloring, with any medium, for a chance to win this month!
I will use my Bombshell digis next week. At least, that is the plan right now. But this week I have selected an Aurora Wings digi, Circe, which I printed on X-Press It BC, and colored with my Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Hair: YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27 
Lion: YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27, E59, Y21, Y23
 Flowers/Dress: RV63, RV66, RV69
Pods: YR21, YR23, YR24, YG21, YG23, YG25
Flowers: RV00, RV02, RV63
Leaves: YG21, YG23, YG25
Spica Gold & Spica Pink

I added portions of die cuts done with Marianne Designs Garden Branch, a bit of pearl spray, and some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. And that's it for my friendship card. I know the "friend" on this is a bit unconventional, but hey, it's me we're talking about here. I rest my case.

Gary and I have had a couple of really fun evenings since I last posted. Wednesday night, for instance, we had a wonderful wine dinner with Bob and Connie at Eddie's House in Scottsdale. My brain must have been on vacation, because I forgot to take photos of all the fabulous courses. But, without you seeing them, let me just say that everything was top-notch, from each wine to each bite. Loved it all, though I did wake up with a headache the next morning. Too much white wine, methinks. Well, that and the Liquor 44 Connie bought for me to try, which I really didn't need, but, boy howdy, was it ever yummy!


And, the other fun outing we had was to the concert for The Voice. We got VIP tickets, so that we were able to go in early for the sound check, a Q&A with the performers, and time for photos in the lobby before the concert started. I have to say, even the singers that I am not really crazy about gave fantastic performances that night. And it was fun to do the meet and greet. Here are some photos we got:











My two favorite performances were "Say Something" with Will and Christina, and Tessanne's standing-ovation rendition of "I Have Nothing". I have to say that I think Tessanne sings that song better than Whitney Houston ever did. Oh, and if you click on Tessanne's photo with Gary, you might just see that not only is she beautiful, but her skin is just flawless. And, yes, she is a very sweet person, too! I didn't get very many photos that turned out due to the stage lighting. But I enjoyed every minute, (except when the teeny-bops next to me were screaming), and we had wonderful seats in the orchestra pit, 3rd row. It was a night to remember...

I hope you all have a marvelous weekend! Please check out the fab creations by my talented teammates, Carla, Dawn, and Kathi. And then play along with us this week, wont' you?
