Special Occasions

Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers which has been set by our lovely Nat and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘special occasions'. Nat would like you to make something for a special occasion such as a wedding, anniversary, christening or a special birthday.   

Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is All Dressed Up Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from All Dressed Up on their creations this week.

I've used this gorgeous image from their online store and this one is called 'Country Girl'

I coloured the image with my promarkers and found some matching papers in my stash!  I inked all the edges and added a diecut flower as well as some corner dies.  Some enamel dots finished off my card!

I hope you can join in with this week's fab challenge and don't forget to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize!

See you soon,

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!  

Hugs, Karen x

'Add Flowers'

Hi crafters, 

It's time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Markers.  This week's theme has been chosen by Elaine from Team 2 and she has given us a theme of ‘add flowers'.  Elaine has given you a super easy theme this week and would like to see flowers on your creations.  It could be a floral image, floral papers or even die cut flowers (as long as you also include an image coloured with markers).  Hopefully this will be a popular challenge and we can’t wait to see what you make.  Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  So just grab your markers, join in and have some fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Sheepski Designs who are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice (the shop is closed but you will be sent a link to be able to choose your images).  Most of the DT have used images from Sheepski Designs on their cards this week. 

I have used this gorgeous digi called 'gerbera daisy'.

I coloured the image with my promarkers with glitter here and there!  I embossed and die cut the squares and added extra diecut leaves behind the image.  I inked a large text stamp and placed it on the card  behind the squares and added gems too!

I hope you can join in with this nice and easy challenge and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!

'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!

Hugs, Karen x
