Hello! It’s Friday! I am looking forward to this weekend! My older son has been accepted into the 16th annual Virginia Tech Honor Band, so we will be heading to Blacksburg along with several other students from his school and two other parent chaperones. It should be a lot of fun. I just hope the weather isn’t too brutal. I don’t mind snow, but I’m not a big fan of ice nor strong, cold winds. At any rate, it will definitely be a learning experience.
Another fun thing about it being Friday is that it’s time for a new Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge! This week our challenge is called It’s All White. Only white cardstock can be used on your project! You’re allowed to color your digital image, and you may use embellishments that are colored. But no colored cardstock, and no pretty designer papers – unless they are white! You don’t have to use a Sweet ‘n Sassy digital image, but we do enjoy seeing our participants use them (and you get the chance for extra perks if you do – see the Digi Challenge site for more details!). Link your card at the Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge site by midnight eastern time Thursday, January 31.
I’ve made a birthday card for today’s challenge, mainly because I wanted to add another birthday card to the box I sent yesterday to Operation Write Home for their Race You to the Mailbox card drive. I colored the Tommy Turtle image and the balloons with Copic markers and cut them apart so I could add in twine for the balloon strings. I printed Tommy’s left front leg and colored it an additional time so I could attach it over top of the balloon strings to make it look like he’s really holding them. I knew I wanted to color Tommy green, but I was having a hard time deciding what color(s) to make the balloons. So I looked to the OWH Design Bootcamp post on color theory for suggestions. I chose to use red balloons for a complimentary color scheme with the green. The layout for this card comes from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. It’s a great sketch that can be played down for a CAS card or played up with lots of layers or embellishments. I also noticed that this week’s ABC Challenge is to make birthday cards, so I figured why not join in that one, too.
Now it’s your turn! What will you create with only white cardstock? I’m looking forward to seeing what you make!
Supplies:
Digital Images: Tommy Turtle’s Balloons, Masculine Birthday Greetings (Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps)
Cardstock: Pure Luxury White (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: printer ink
Other: markers (Copic); cherry twine (Really Reasonable Ribbon); Swiss Dots embossing folder (ProvoCraft)

This is precious, Patricia! Great coloring of this sweet image. Love the baker’s twine holding his balloons.
Adorable turtle! The red and green do work wonderfully together and really ‘pop’ against the crisp white. Thanks for playing in this month’s OWH Bootcamp!
