Winter

Hi crafters,

It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Kitty has given us the fab theme of 'Winter'. 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 the prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers and have some fun!

We are kindly sponsored by Colour of Love this week and they are offering the lucky winner 3 digi images form their online store.

The Design Team were lucky enough to have one of their images to use on our cards this week and I chose this one called 'Gabriella Illuminations'.  This image is so beautiful and I loved colouring this one using my promarkers.

I added lots of glitter to the image and added some wintry flowers to go with the theme.  I diecut a lamp in white card and coloured it to match those in the image.  Some silver ribbon and gems were the finishing touches to my card.

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's challenge.  You can use any of your makers, just let us know what you've used in your blog and remember to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize.

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!

Fave digi/stamp

 Hi crafters,

It's my turn in the hot seat this week over at Passion for Markers and I've chosen 'Fave digi/stamp' as the theme for the new challenge!  I'd love to see your creations using your favourite image - whether that's a digi image or a stamp - nice and easy!

We are kindly sponsored by Alex Syberia Designs who are offering the lucky winner a £10 voucher (digital products only).

The Design Team were lucky enough to have one of their images to play with this week and I've used this one called 'sending love bouquet'.

I coloured it with my promarkers and fussy cut the image.  I placed it on foam pads over a die cut circle and added some black leaves.  I added a die cut sentiment and then did some splatters with a white pen.  I added some enamel dots and some faux stitching around the card.  I love pink on kraft card and so I was really pleased with how this card turned out.  

I hope you can find some crafty time to take part in this week's challenge.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers - just remember to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Our generous sponsor this week is Leann's World 101 and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All the DT have used images from Leann's World 101 on their creations this week.  

I've used this one called 'Cindy's umbrella'.  I've coloured her with my promarkers and did some paper piecing for the umbrella.  I added lots of different papers from my stash and doodled on the edges of them all!   I added some gems to look like rain drops and plenty of clouds to go with the theme!  I printed a sentiment on the computer and finished off with lots of glitter here and there!

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's theme.  You can use any of your markers but don't forget to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize!

I made this for a colleague in work and was really pleased with how it turned out! I've never used these colours together but they look great and I'll definitely be using this colour combo again!

I stamped the cute image and coloured her with my promarkers.  I added lots of gitter to her wings, fussy cut her out and placed her on my card with foam pads  I created a watercolour background with my distress inks and did some splattering to add a bit of texture.  A die cut banner and the sentiment finished off the card with some enamel drops from my stash.

For a Man/Boy

Hi crafters,

Another week has flown by and it's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers.  Our lovely Nat has given us the fab theme of 'For a Man/Boy' and we are kindly sponsored by Polkadoodles who are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

 

I used one of their gorgeous images on my card this week and this is one is called 'Hanging on a tree branch' .  I printed the cute panda twice and rotated one of them to suit my card!  The little pandas were coloured with my promarkers and I created the cloudy background with a stencil and distress ink.

I used a film strip die and mounted it onto black and green card.  Some co-ordinating enamel dots were the finishing touch to my card and I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

I hope you're able to join in with the fun this week and it's a great excuse to make some male cards!  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.  If you could let us know which markers you've used, that would be great too!

I look foward to seeing your gorgeous creations!

Pink or blue (as main colour)

 Hi crafters,

A new week brings a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Linda is in the hot seat and she's given us the fab theme of 'Pink or blue (as main colour)'.  

We are kindly sponsored by Dies to Die For and they are offering the lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  

I made this card for a neighbour who wanted a special card for his daughter-in-law!  I thought this image was perfect for a girly birthday and I coloured it with my promarkers.  I found some matching papers and added die cut flowers and leaves, as well as the wine glass!  I added glossy accents to the wine glasses and plenty of glitter here and there!  

I hope you'll be able to play along with our challenge this week!  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the pink or blue theme to be in with a chance of winning a prize!  If you could tell us what markers you've used in your post too, that would be great!  I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!

 Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Kitty has chosen the lovely theme of 'Feminine 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.  They have some gorgeous images and the Design Team have all used one of their images on their cards this week for some inspiration.

I decided to make a shaker card this week - not done one of these for ages!  I matched the sprinkles to those in the image and stamped a sentiment to go in the aperture before adding the sprinkles!! I found some lovely feminine papers in my stash and inked all the edges with some distress ink.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter! I finished it off with a die cut flower and some pearls.

I hope you can find some time 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 fab prize!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x
