Fall or Winter

 Hi crafters,

Our lovely Kitty has chosen the theme this week for the brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers.  Kitty would love to see your creations on the theme of 'Fall or Winter'.  

We are kindly sponsored by Colour of Love and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

I've used one of their gorgeous images on my card this week.  This one is called 'Emmi Lou Boo's Autumn Leaves' - isn't she just lovely?

I coloured the image with my promarkers and used some autumnal colours!  I added some doodling around the image and found a backing paper in my stash that was similar to the colour of her hair!  

I added a sweet sentiment as this card was for my lovely niece who is working in America for a year and we all miss her so much!

I hope you are able to find some crafty time to join in with this week's fab challenge.  Remember, you can use any of your markers - just remember to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this amazing prize!  

I look forward to visiting your blogs to see your gorgeous creations!

Hugs, Karen x  

Die Cuts and/or Punches

 Hi crafters,

It's my turn to choose the theme for this week's challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, I'd love to see your creations using your die cuts and/or punches.

We are kindly sponsored by All Dressed Up 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 'Potted Plants'.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some details with a white gel pen.  I chose some coordinating papers and diecut the lace border.  I also diecut some flowers and a pot to match the one in the image!  I stamped the sentiment in the corner and finished off with a couple of matching buttons.

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's challenge.  Remember 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!

Birthdays

 Hi crafters,

Our lovely Elaine has given us the fab theme of 'Birthdays' for the new challenge over at Passion for Markers this week.  

We are kindly sponsored by Beccy's Place and she is offering the lucky winner a $10.00au voucher to spend in her online store.

All the Design Team have used one of her images on their card this week and I've used this gorgeous Flamingo from the set called 'Flockstar'.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some white highlights with a gel pen here and there.  I found some matching papers and used a layout that we used in one of the workshops I attended a while ago.  Some doodling and enamel dots were the finishing touches to my card!  The sentiment comes in the same set of digital stamps from Beccy's Place with a choice of different flamingos which are all fab!

I hope you are able to join in with this week's nice and easy challenge at Passion for Markers.  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!

Autumn Friends

 Hi crafters,

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 created this autumnal card for my son's girlfriend and thought it would be perfect for this week's theme.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some highlights with a white gel pen here and there.  I found some co-ordinating backing paper and inked all the edges with some distress ink.  Some die cut flourishes, a flower and some ribbon were the finishing touches to my card.

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

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

I really enjoyed colouring this image with my promarkers and was really pleased with how it turned out!  I found some suitable masculine papers to co-ordinate with my colour scheme and did the sentiment on my computer.
