Well, it IS Tuesday and time for a brand new challenge at Papertake Weekly. This week our theme is Cute, Cute,Cute and we're sponsored by the fabulous Stamp Fairy. The winner will be able to choose some of Gerda's gorgeous digis from the shop.
After all my recent experimenting it was quite nice to get back to 'cute' and, of course, my usual plain and simple style. I've been feeling a bit apprehensive about picking up my Promarkers and have only really coloured one card since last month. I have a real confidence issue with colouring and struggle with all the shading and blending stuff. Card making was much easier when we only had watercolour pencils, stickers and peel-offs, lol!
Anyhow, for my card today I've used one of the cute Fun Time Dan images from DigiStamp Boutique which is just one of the many fabulous offers for May. I've teamed him with some GCD papers that I've had in my cupboard for ages, so I can enter Dan into Lisa's Waste Not Wednesday Challenge. The star is a stamp that was free with Craft Stamper magazine ages ago.
That's it from me probably until the weekend. Have a fab week and I'll be round to visit you soon.

Love the simplicity of this, Katina! Cute boy's image, great papers and simple embellishments make for a wonderful card!
Don't worry about being an expert at using your promarkers - we're all learning and sometimes it doesn't need it...if you're happy with the end result, then that's all that matters and you should be pleased with this one! Lisa x
I always think your colouring looks lovely, Katina. You don't go over the top, and keep it soft and natural looking. Just like your image here, which is coloured perfectly. I love your papers and embellishing, too x
Hi Katina this is a super cute card!

your colouring is brilliant and that image is just soooooooooooocute hes a belter...wonderful card..look forwards to seeing more of your wonderful cards sassyxxx
Fabulous card Katina, great image and super layout and great papers. If I have told you once, I have told you loads of times, there is nothing at all wrong with your colouring, it is far superior to mine and I have no quarms about mine because I am no artist and to be quite honest 98 percent of the people I make cards for wouldn't know good colouring from bad and at the end of the day you are still on DT's, so no more, do what you do and you do it so well.
Love Kath x
Your colouring always looks fab to me Katina, and it's all supposed to be fun isn't it? Just colour in a way that you enjoy, there's no point torturing yourself :o)
I love this one, got this image printed out ready to colour... Fab papers and love those stars too. Thanks for joining in with my WNW challenge hun! Hugs, Lisa x
Gorgeous card Katina
I love your coloured image & those papers & stars x
Hi Katina
Glad your Tuesday was a good one and l hope your bad day won't be delayed until tomorrow.
Love your card and l think you're colouring is fantastic. I totally understand how you feel about the ProMarkers as l feel the same way. When l see such amazing creations on blogs l feel pressured (only in my own head) to achieve the same results but after thinking quite a bit about it, I've decided to colour my stamps in my way and hopefully as time goes on, l will improve my technique :)
Have a good week, take care xx
well you have made a very cute card and there is nothing wrong with your colouring skills. I love the design of this boy card. janex
so stunning katina.i love your fab colours and the image is gorgeous ;D
xx coops xx
Super card Katina so great for a boy.... Love it! Jo xxx
Super fab Katina...love the stars and papers. I haven't coloured a thing for yonks, but you do have to have the right card to get the best from ProMarkers and Copics. My favourite was The Glitter Pots own card...but things have moved on and I'm sure lots of people are selling similar now. The smoother the better!
Colouring was my favourite thing....but I know when I start....eeek...better not do that! xx
Hi Katina
Love your card.... you've coloured that image just right, and those stars really make the card fab!!
Oooh and I've been over to the FB page and already downloaded the freebie!!

A beautiful boys card Katina, just gorgeous! I hope your wednesday didn't turn out to be a Tuesday and I'm sure your glad its now Friday, or will that be on Saturday? lol Either way have a great weekend. hugs Donna
P.S. Yes, apparently the lady had a doll with her and it wasn't a baby (thank goodness ) Maybe to her it was her baby as she had a pram for it too. I'm just relieved it didn't turn out to be human.
No problems with colouring here Katina its brilliant and love the image and layout.
