'All Creatures great and small'

Hi crafters,
This week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers has been chosen by our lovely Nat and it's 'All Creatures great and small',
We are kindly sponsored by All Dressed Up this week and they are offering the lucky winner 2 digi images from their online store  - choosing will be tricky though as they are all gorgeous!
We were lucky enough to have one of their digis to play with for this challenge and I've chosen 'Baseball Bear' - isn't he cute?
I've coloured him up with my promarkers and added a bit of chalk for his rosy cheeks!  I've added my new fence die that I got for Christmas - always wanted this one and a couple of banners at the top!
Some ribbons and of course a button (can't seem to make a male card without adding a button or two!) were the finishing touches to my card.
Why not have a go and enter this week's challenge!  Remember, you can enter any creation, it doesn't have to be a card,  Just remember to use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products and follow the theme!
Thanks for dropping by and good luck!
Hugs, Karen xx

Challenge 378 - Sports / Hobbies


Hi crafters,
Another week has flown by and there's a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers!  This week, Lorraine is the host and she has chosen 'Sports/hobbies' as the theme - a nice easy one!
We are kindly sponsored by DigiStamp Boutique and they are offering the lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their lovely online store.
We were lucky enough to have a digi to play with and I chose DIY Alf.  He's a great image to colour in and such a handy image for those tricky male cards!

I coloured Alf with my promarkers and used some new colours I had as a Christmas present from my lovely hubby! I distressed all the edges of the papers and added a corner die to each corner - just can't do those CAS style cards can I!! I added some ribbon and buttons and a Welsh 'Happy Birthday' sentiment.  This is a birthday card for my Father-in-Law and I hope he likes it!!
Well thanks for dropping by and don't forget to have a go at this week's challenge - all you have to do is use your Letraset products and follow the theme!
Good luck!
Hugs, Karen xx


I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

New Challenge - 'Anything Goes'

Happy New Year crafters!!
Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and I hope Santa brought you all some new crafty goodies!!  It's been lovely having the family all together again with my eldest son being home from uni - although he goes back next Sunday and I'm dreading it!!  I've got used to having him around again!
Anyway, the decorations are down and it's time to get on with things again!
The first challenge of the year at Passion for Promarkers has been set by our lovely new Design Team member, Kitty and she has chosen 'Anything Goes',
We are kindly sponsored by Crafty Sentiments Designs and they are offering the lucky winner 3 digis from their online store.  They have some fantastic images and you'll be spoilt for choice!
I've used the cute 'Bundle of Hearts' image on my card and it's been coloured in with my promarkers. I've used a great layout that we used at one of our workshops and I've decided I'm going to try a lot of different shaped cards this year!  I added some glitter to the hearts (of course) and some ribbon and flowers finished off the card!
             This is a different view of the card to try and show the style of card I've used!

Thanks for dropping by and don't forget to have a go at this week's challenge,    Remember to use your promarkers or any Letraset product and don't forget to say which product you've used on your creation!
See you soon!  Hugs, Karen xx
