Anything floral

 Hi crafters,

It's time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Elaine has given us the fab theme of 'Anything Floral'.  

We are kindly sponsored by Sheepski Designs 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 'Daisy Panel'.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and then did some masking so that I could stamp a text stamp behind the image.  I also inked a pinky background to make the flowers pop!  I added a mount with kraft card and finished off with some enamel dots.  I then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment in the corner of the card!

I hope you are able to join in with this nice and easy challenge this week!  Remember, you can use any of your markers but don't forget to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning a price.

I look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations!

Hugs, Karen x

Die cuts and/or punches

 Hi crafters,

It's my turn in the hot seat this week over at Passion for Markers and I have chosen the nice and easy theme of 'Die cuts and/or punches'.  I don't think I ever make a card without them now so I'd love to see your creations using them as well!!

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

I made this Birthday card for my youngest who's just had his first little car!  I coloured an image from LOTV I thought would be perfect and added glossy accents and white highlights here and there!  I used one of my new dies from Craft Addiction as a background and die cut some stars in various sizes.  I added a welsh sentiment and personalised it with his name to make it extra special!

I hope you can find some time to join in with my 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 fab prize!  

I look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing all your gorgeous creations!
