Animals

 Hi crafters,

We have a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Nat has given us the fab theme of 'Animals'.

We are kindly sponsored by ADU Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images form their online store.

I've used one of their gorgeous images on my card this week and this one is called 'Two little mice'.

I colored the image with my promarkers and added some white highlights here and there.  I found some matching papers and used one of my fav embossing folders on the centre panel.   I stamped the sentiment and inked all edges with some distress inks.

I hope you'll be able to join in with this fun and easy challenge this week.  Remember, you can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize!

'Let's get in shape'

Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Kitty has given us the fab theme of 'Let's get in shape'.  Kitty would love to see your different shaped cards this week - no rectangle or square cards. It's a great challenge as I know I get stuck in a rut with my square cards!

We are kindly sponsored by Leann's World 101 and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.

I've used one of their images on my card this week and this one is called 'Beetle Bug'.

I diecut the card shape and coloured the image with my promarkers.  I added lots of embellishments including stars, cogs, banners as well as a tag shape.  I inked all the edges with distress inks and added a computer generated sentiment.  

I hope you are able to join in with this week's challenge!  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize!

I've used a cute LOTV image on my card this week.  My father-in-law loves tractors and so this image was perfect!  I coloured the image with my promarkers and coloured it in the same colours as a tractor he once owned!

I added glossy accents to the headlights and also added highlights with a white gel pen.

Some enamel dots, a sentiment and twine were the finishing touches to my card!

Please remember for this challenge we will only accept 3 cards/projects per person.  Also just for this one week we will not be choosing a Top 5 Passionista as we have lots of extra winners, however this will go back to normal next week.

Have fun!

Fave Colour Combo

 Hi crafters,

I'm in the hot seat this week over at Passion for Markers and for this week's challenge, I would love to see your creations using your fave colour combinations.  

We are kindly sponsored by The Paper Shelter and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online stores.

All the Design Team have used one of their gorgeous images on their cards this week and I've used this 

one called 'Hammock Days'.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and used colours to match my papers!  I added some leaf diecuts to hold up the hammock and added a fence diecut to create a little garden scene!  I diecut some flowers and coloured them in the same green, orange and pink colour combo which is my favourite at the moment!

Some enamel dots and a sentiment finished off the card!

I hope you can join in with this nice and easy challenge!  I'm looking forward to trying some new colour combos after seeing your gorgeous creations.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize|!

See you soon.

I coloured the gorgeous flowers with my promarkers and added white highlights here and there.  I added some splatters to the card in the same colours and added a layer of embossed card underneath.  I mounted both pieces onto some black card and stamped this gorgeous sentiment onto a banner shape.  I finished the card with a button and some gems.

Easter

 Hi Crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Wendy is in the hot seat and she has given us the fab theme of 'Easter'.  

We are kindly sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps who are offering the lucky winner a £6.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I made this cute Easter card using an image from LOTV and I coloured it with my promarkers.

I added a scalloped die cut and the sentiment is from LOTV as well.  The inside of the card says 'at easter time'.
