I used a stencil to create pink clouds around the Oddball Cupid, then colored her with Copic markers. I used red, of course, and also used a combination of markers to color her wings, bow and the arrow feathers gold. As always, the stamp packaging provided great guidance for shading. These images always humor me because they are so, um, odd. I especially like her boots with wings.
I did give her a landing spot amongst the clouds and since she has wings, of course she can stay above ground. I thought that was a fun way to use Claire's theme of love is in the air... 😉
The panel was cut with a postage rectangle die, matted with a red panel and added to the card base with foam tape. The sentiment was also added with foam squares and the card was complete!
What are you inspired to create with these two challenges? I encourage you to visit both challenges for the amazing inspiration by the respective design teams and our CH guest designer JoAnne. The Paper Players challenge ends Friday February 6th at 3pm EST and the Color Hues challenge stays open until Saturday February 14th at 9 am EST. Hope to see you there!
Thanks for stopping by!

Stef, this is the best Valentine! The clouds look like hearts! So creative. As always, you win the award for best at coloring! Your little oddball angel is perfect. I just love this card and I know your hubby will, too! Thank you for making my challenge shine! Have a great week, My Friend!
Such a fun card, Stef! I love the pink clouds and you've colored your Oddball to perfection--great job on the shading, clearly I need to take some lessons from you on shading with alcohol markers. Have a great week!
Oh FUN is she! I love the teeny wings on her boots and your pretty pink clouds! Awesome card, Stef!
Stef, nobody creates clouds as beautiful as you! And as always, your coloring is perfect. This little Oddball angel is indeed quirky and cute. Your husband is going to love this card. Have a wonderful week!
Stef, another beautifully colored image and your oddball Cupid is perfect against that backdrop of pink and white clouds. She made me laugh and I am sure your hubby will love it.
Hugs

TOO funny! I just LOVE your card! I would create this in a second, if I had the stamp. Next year perhaps?? Thanks for sharing!
Very creative.
Such a fun and quirky Valentine Stef, love the pink background clouds. Your use of the postage style die gives just the right amount of quirk to match the image and the little shadow makes all the difference. :)
I'm not usually a big fan of these images, but Stef, you have won me over! Your coloring is spot on and what a fun valentine for your husband!
Quirky is good! And if hubby likes it, that's all the matters! I love your coloring and those clouds----just amazing!
This is just too FUN Stef and totally has me smiling this morning! She is such a sassy looking little wench and yes, a little odd, but she sure has me cracking up! Your coloring is perfection as always, I love her winged boots too, and also those pink heart shaped clouds in the background...but most of all I love the sentiment! Haha...hubby will love it!! Hugs. :0)
What a darling image, Stef! And as usual your coloring is just perfect. One of the things I love about your talent, is you are not predictable. Even though you are a great colorist, you can do it all.
Oddball is a great word for her, but LOL, she is so much fun! Your stenciled clouds are amazing. All her little details have kept me staring at her for quite awhile. Love the hearts in her hair and the winged boots!
Oh my goodness! I LOVE your quirky, oddball cupid. That you've put her onto a ground of pink heavenly clouds is just genius. You've given me a big smile for sure. :-)
This is so fun Stef - that quirky cupid is sure to make your hubby smile. I love the little wings on her boots!! Perfectly set in her pink cloudy sky too - love most certainly is in the air in the Perry household!
Oh my gosh stuff this is just the absolute cutest card! I love that image and I love that you know that your husband is gonna love it too. Such a fun, fun valentines card and you're colouring is perfection!
This is so cute!! I LOVE that fun image!!
Stef, your colouring blows me away! Awesome! Your husband will love this; so fun!
hugs~carol
I love her!!!!! That sentiment makes me smile. It's like "you're mine whether you like it or not". Or better yet, that old VW commercial where the guy licks the door handle and claims the car with a "I licked it, it's mine." ROFL!
Quirky and so cute. Love your pink clouds in the background of the cute image. I bet your husband loved the card.
