The Outlawz Friday Coloring Picnic or Barbecue Challenge

Well, did you know that August was National Picnic Month? Neither did I. Anyway, that's why we are celebrating this week with a picnic/barbecue challenge for you. And it requires that you color an image for your creation, using any coloring medium you wish.

Keeping this brief. My eyes are still a bit dilated from my eye exam and it is hard to look at the white screen. Imagine that.

Our sponsor this month is Bombshell Stamps, a place for some fun and unusual stamps! I have used their Desert Background for my little bbq, as I live in the desert. So does my friend, Ellie, whose birthday was this week, on the 6th. So I made a birthday card for her, combining my desert background with a Lacy Sunshine stamp, Eleanor and Pickles Smores. I thought this was perfect for her, as she is a chocoholic just like me. Right, Ellie? Or did I suddenly reveal a secret? Harhar.

I printed my images on X-Press It BC and colored them with my Copics. I fussy-cut Eleanor & Pickles and pop-dotted them onto my desert background. The sun was made with a Marianne Designs Pointy Circle Frame and Flower die and a pearl sticker. My ticket sentiment was made with a Stampin' Up Eat Chocolate sentiment and a Whimsy Ticket die. The corners were die-cut with a Whimsy die as well. Cardstock is from Stampin' Up.

My talented teammates, Carla, Dawn, and Kathi, have made some fabulous cards--be sure to stop and check them out! And then play along with us this week!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

  4. Hope your eyes have recovered by now xxx
    Just adore the beautiful chocolate/marshmallow barbeque scene you have created with the two cutie pies. Pickles has quite a massive sweet bite there, hope he has a big appetite.
    From one chocoholic to another.
