Color Outside the Lines - Color Throwdown #141

~

Really?  Is it really Wednesday again already?? Ha, ha!  That week went sooo fast for me!

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!  I know I did.  I spent the entire day with my 2 youngest grandchildren (and their Mom and Dad & dogs!) and we had a blast!  Then their Dad cooked big juicy steaks and all the trimmings for us all.  I love that guy!!

So I guess we should get down to business…..craft business, that is!  How about a look at the challenge colors that Danielle has chosen for us this week.

Such pretty, happy colors!

I've had this sweet little Pure Innocence image since she first came out and have been dying to ink her up!  But I didn't use my Copic markers this week.  I decided to break out the reinkers and paint brush and do some watercoloring.  I couldn't resist taking the sentiment literally and drew a line frame on her canvas so that she could color outside the lines.  Both she and the canvas are watercolored.

Oh Broni I love the colors, your watercoloring is supreme, and the whole card was brought together in such a "happy" togetherness. Great card using the combo. Hugs.

I got quite a chuckle when I saw this adorable card. As a kid, coloring outside the lines was not something I EVER did! Times have certainly changed!

[Cathy]

This is awesome!!!!

[Laura Pryor]

Broni, this is really amazing. What you did with the frame you added and her paint outside the lines truly added to this card in such a cool way! WOW!! And might I add it looks like you cut out that PI image with a die it's done SO perfectly!

Broni - I absolutely LOVE this!!! One of the best, cutest, most clever cards I've seen in a long, long time! That little 'abstract' watercolor she's making... a MASTERPIECE!!! I bow to you, Brawny Broni! :)

[Shannon White]

Wow! This is sooo darned adorable! Love your card layout and gorgeous coloring!
:-)

[Betty]

Adorable, Broni! Great blend of the colors and I love the "art" within the art! Great looking card!

[Kristin Eberline]

Broni! Okay, where do I start? How about your beautiful coloring reminding me of why I love the watercoloring technique? Or, the clever way you had your PI gal paint outside the lines? Maybe your fun layout and the way you pulled the vibrant palette together. Such a fun card, girl! LOVE it :]

[Susie]

I absolutely adore this card!! My grandmother kept my 3 year old coloring book for years.

I still remember the day she sat next to me as I colored and scribbled (in purple) the face and arms of the child in the picture. What a hoot! She very patiently explained to me that "we" don't color skin purple, nor do we color "outside" the lines. She directed my little hand back "inside the lines". When I saw this card it brought that memory right back to me.

I have to add this as well: When I stared drawing at a young age I never drew a chin or a nose. Why? because I saw the perspective but didn't know how to achieve it nor did I understand how to communicate what I saw at the time. Interesting that your card brought all this out in me ;)

Again, it's just adorable and has a wonderful message. Thank you for sharing.
