Here's the cards I made from some of the images on the first practice sheet. Today was all about blending.
I don't have a huge amount of markers yet, so I used what I had in the natural blending groups as well as Jennifer McGuire's tip of playing with a dark and light colour to see what works. The yellow and green balloons were done with colours outside of the natural blending groups and I love them - G17 and YR06; Y11 and Y06. The presents were coloured in with the same green, with the yellow this time Y06 and Y08.
I fussy cut out the balloons and presents and adhered them to a panel of white card I'd die cut using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Square. I attached it with fun foam to a 6x6 card blank I'd covered in Lawn Fawn Let's Polka paper. The '2' was stamped in Lemon Twist and Lily Pad using my new Paper Smooches Digits stamps that I won in a Giveaway over on Instagram (thanks to the lovely Lydia Evans!). I die cut them out using a small stitched square and adhered them using some foam pads.

Don't forget to stop by my crafty friend Aileen over at Colour and Sparkle who is doing the class along with me - we'll be posting what we've done around the same time at opposite ends of the world - hopefully!!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a fun week. Hectic here as always, but managing to fit in colouring as and when I can :)

These are so sweet Ruth! It looks as though that class is really paying off too, as your colouring is amazing! I'd love to use Copics, but alas, they are too rich for my pocket! Have a lovely day my friend! Hazel xx

So fun that you and your "neighbor", [NOT] are taking this class together! Looks like you are doing a bang up job too! :)
Great practise, Ruth! And wonderful cards made out of practised colouring sheets. Well done.
