Mega Christmas Challenge

Hi crafters,
There's a very special “Mega Christmas challenge” at Passion for Promarkers starting this week which runs for a whole month and ends on 3rd January 2017!  
The theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “use your dies/punches”.  You are welcome to make Christmas cards but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation as long as you follow the theme.  As time is precious for our DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x
So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!
Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) are offering one lucky winner a Student Designer pack of 24 promarkers

Wow we are sure you’ll agree our sponsors have been super generous once again this year!

So onto my card which I've made using a Tina Wenke stamp 'Winter Birdhouse' which has never been inked I'm ashamed to say!  It's a gorgeous stamp which I've coloured with my promarkers.  I added a lot of glitter for the snow and some glossy accents on the little red berries.  I wanted the Kraft card to show so I've just added a strip of paper on the centre of the card with a die cut border either side.  The red ribbon matches the bow on the image and I punched a lot of leaves which I thought matched the greenery in the stamp!  Some die cut poinsettias were inked and shaped across the top and I added some red berries that I got from a lovely florist stall in one of the Christmas markets!  


So why not get your dies and punches out and join in with this great challenge!  The prizes are amazing and you've got until 3rd January! 
Thanks for dropping by and good luck!
Hugs, Karen xx
