This is a 2 in 1 challenge to get us geared up for VSN! First, you can only use black ink because we are focusing on coloring. Coloring tools are your only accessories! :o That's right... no embellishments. :o Second (and optional), try and make your card in 45 minutes or less.
Possible Coloring Tools
Watercolor Wonder crayons
colored pencils
pastels
markers*
blender pen with ink pad*
blender pen with reinkers*
*You may use the ink for coloring purposes, just not to stamp images.*
Please put LSC77 in the keyword box when you upload!
Limit: accessories (coloring tools)
Stamps: any
Ink: black
Cardstock: any
Embellishments: none
Note:
BLACK ink only for stamping. If you're using colored ink, it should only be for coloring the image. Thanks! :-D
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Woo hoo! this should be fun. I love to color. I'm just a big kid at heart I guess. I love these limited supply challenges. It's just the push I need to get stampin'!
:p you ARE gonna make me buy them, aren't you, Dawn!!!?
Thanks, Jen! Sounds interesting, and surely a challenge!!!
I hope to have time to play tomorrow BEFORE VSN..... I WILL have time for VSN! Just might have too much to do before hand!! (to assure I CAN have the 'me' time the rest of the weekend!)

no embellishments?!?!? Huh??? you would have to throw in the only black ink too so that I can't use my stamps that look like ribbon or ric-rak unless I want them to be in black ....Oh, I see a loop hole watercolor crayons to the rescue!!!!
Wow, tough challenge, Jen! Can't wait to try tomorrow.
I hope lots of you will use the WWC on your projects ... I have had mine for several months now and have not used them once. Can't wait to see some great cards!

Wow! I love mine. Sometimes I color with them on the paper and then use a blender pen. But usually, I use the blender pen directly on the crayon before coloring. Some people have colored directly on the stamp, spritzed with water and then stamped.
Great challenge Jen...........it will have to wait for tomorrow after the vet and a cup or two of coffee. I do however have my WWC and can't wait to color!

Sounds like fun. I'll whip something up tomorrow. I don't have the WWC either, but I have the markers and the pencils. The Crayons are on my wish list. It's just that my list is so long I don't know when I will get around to getting them. After this challenge, probably soon.

I may try this again tomorrow, but I figured if I was going to sleep at all tonight I couldn't let this challenge wait. I'd be thinking about it all night. So here's my quick card. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
Jen, I cannot believe that I made a card before morning! I had to do one before going to bed...will do another one tomorrow. This was my first time using reinkers w/the blender pen. I think I like watercolors and prisma pencils better. Here is my card:

You all may not like that I used naturals ivory on paper with a white bkgd-sorry if so.....I also need a new blade on the ole paper trimmer before VSN tonight!
Hmm... I KNOW i've made cards before without embellishments and I've coloured everything by hand, but for some reason when I CAN'T use anything else it drives me mad!!!! hahaha.. anyway.. thanx jen for the challenge.. was definately a challenge. Off to bed!!

:twisted: OK, so I must be losing it, or REALLY anxious for VSN to start cause I just couldn't go to bed til I did this challenge! and it is now 4:52 am here on the east coast BWAAAHAHA:twisted:
Well Jen, I realized I had one I did late last night for a swap this weekend...it may have a tiny, tiny, piece of gingham ribbon on it...but it could easily be removed...so I'm asking you to pretend it isn't there! It really isn't....
This is a fun one Jen -- hope to have some time today, and like Kittie, I to am wondering can we use a brush with the WWC and/or reinkers. Not a blender pen type of gal!
figures you'd pick one of my favorite things to do when I don't have time to do it!
have lots in my gallery.....will play another day... the samples so far are great!

I am so ready for a challenge -- haven't been able to do one all week. I'll have to wait until after work -- but will make it a pre-VSN challenge. Love my prisma pencils!
NO EMBELLISHMENTS????? OK, I did it, but it's back to the drawing board for embellishments now. Fun, challenge, Jen - always fun to get outta that box! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the challenge. I have been enjoying the challenges this week but have too many things on my plate preparing for school to start and my only child to start college. This is just what I needed to do today. Here is my card. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Here's my attempt -- super simple card. I have a question, Jen. Is using punches considered an embellishment? I played it safe and did nothing, but sure wanted to use a punch!!! Here's my link -- fun challenge again!
Here is my card! I really like Roxi's sketch this week so I DID it again! I wanted to start making some fall cards, since fall is just around the corner!
Great Challenge Jen! Kittie and Sherry, she says in her opening challenge that coloring tools are our only accessories. I'm going to include a watercolor brush as a coloring tool accessory. Is that cheating Jen?
