TSG100- Happy Birthday

This week’s challenge is being issued by our Trendsetter of the Week, Kim! She wants us to create a card that uses NO MARKERS…no Copics, no Tombow Markers…NO MARKERS AT ALL! Can you believe it? So reach for those pastels, colored pencils, or other coloring mediums that you’ve been neglecting and show them some love this week! And as always, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a card that utilizes no markers, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (Apr 3rd). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the look out to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

You do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG100 so we can check out your beautiful work!

Poppies: $18.00 $15.30
Spring Fever: $24.00 $20.40
Chem. 101: $7.00 $5.95
Sweet Pea: $7.00 $5.95
Right now, There She Goes has their changing of the seasons sale going on, so be sure to get in on that action!!!

For my card tonight, I used the Sweet Pea set which is part of the sale going on right now. Since Kim said no markers...I had to revert to some old coloring tactics...I water colored. It kinda hurt a lot. After water coloring my image with SU reinkers and an aquapainter, I layered it with Soft Sky and Wild Cherry. My DP is part of the Cosmo Cricket Modern Homemaker line. My ribbon is from MFT, and the scallops are from the Small Scalloped Die-namics.
Well, that is it for me for now. Thanks for stopping by...have a great day!!!
