 Hi crafters, 

Our lovely Nat has given us a fab new theme for this week's challenge at Passion for Markers.  She would love to see your creations using your favourite colours and we are kindly sponsored by Colour of Love who are offering the winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

Their images are absolutely gorgeous and I've used this one called 'Rory's Orchids'.

I've coloured the image with my promarkers and added some white highlights here and there!  These images are just so beautiful to colour and I used my new favourite colours of yellow and orange!

I inked all the edges with distress inks and added a couple of sweet LOTV tags for the sentiment.  This card is for my niece who's working in America for 12 months.  We are missing her so much so I'll post this to her with a few treats!!

I hope you're able to join in with this fun 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 awesome prize.

'Include an insect'

 Hi Crafters,

A very Happy New Year to you all!  Hope you all had a relaxing and peaceful Christmas and are ready for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers.  

This week's theme has been set by our lovely Linda and she would love to see your creations which includes an insect.  We are kindly sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I've made a Birthday card for my nephew using an LOTV image called 'Just Chilling'.  He loves fishing so I thought this was perfect for him! 

 

I coloured the image with my promarkers and inked all the edges with distress inks.  I found some coordinating papers in my stash - something I need to do more of this year!!  I added the dragonfly insect and embossed some brown card with a bubbles folder - and then covered it with more layers!!

The sentiment was done on the computer to personalize it!

I hope you'll be able to join in with this fun 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 great prize.

I look forward to visiting your blogs soon!

Hugs, Karen x
