Tiddly Inks Challenge 40 - Colour Me incorperating Sketch Saturday

Over at the Tiddly Ink Challenge blog the new theme is colour me and here's what those guys have to say about their latest challenge :

"I don't know about you but this is SUCH the time of year for mega winter BLAHS!!!! So we thought we'd bring you some serious COLOR to enhance your day and week and month!!! This week's Tiddly Challenge #40 is COLOR ME!!! You will notice, however, all month long we'll be having super fabulous color challenges to wake everyone out of their wintery slumber and make your eyes pop with colorful fun!"

And so without further ado here's my take on the challenge :

And here's the sketch from Sketch Saturday :

I chose this sketch as I thought that each strip could represent a colour of the rainbow.

The cute girl hiding under her umbrella is Donna and she's coloured in with copics to match the colours used on the card.  Her umbrella and a bit of her wellies have glossy accents on to represent the wet look.  The oval was cut from white cardstock then brushed very lightly with blue chalk ink then I went around the edge of the oval with a squidgy blue pigment ink pad.  All the coloured card is by American crafts.

The hello stamp is from my stash.

The verse inside the card reads "friends are hidden treasures who come out like a rainbow after a storm, to brighten our days in their special kind of ways."
