'Use your favourite colours'

Hi crafters,
It's my turn to host the challenge this week at Passion for Promarkers and I've chosen a really easy theme - 'Use your favourite colours'.  So it can be anything from your fav Christmas card colours or pastels, brights etc on any of your cards!
We are kindly sponsored by Lemon Shortbread this week and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digis from their online store.
                                                  No automatic alt text available.
Their images are amazing and the Design Team were lucky enough to have one of their images to play with, so make sure you check out their blogs to see their stunning creations!

I chose this image called 'Penguin Umbrella' and I really enjoyed colouring this in!
I used a layout from a recent workshop and the papers are from Anna Marie Designs called 'Christmas Jingle'.  I've used my promarkers to colour in this cute little penguin and added some green distress ink to the trees.  I've used my favourite Christmas colours of red, green and white - traditional at this time of year!!  I added a few trees to create a little scene for the penguin and added a bow and a peel off to create a bauble effect! I added a couple of die cut snowflakes and I've added glitter to absolutely everything!!  A button and some pearls were the finishing touch as well as a bit of gold ribbon across the edges of the paper.
Please join in with this week's challenge if you can, I can't wait to visit your blogs to see all your gorgeous entries.
Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’.
Thanks for dropping by and I'll see you again soon.
Hugs, Karen xx

'Let it Snow'

Hi crafters,
We have a great new challenge this week at Passion for Promarkers!  Jacky has chosen the fab theme 'Let it Snow' which is great for all those Christmas cards we're making now, so make sure you join in with this great challenge!
We are kindly sponsored by Bugaboo stamps this week and they are offering the lucky winner a $12.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  All their images are gorgeous and we were lucky enough to have one of their images to use on our cards this week, so make sure you check the blog to see all the lovely creations from the Design Team.

I've used one of their gorgeous digi stamps called 'Snowman Bird House' and I really enjoyed colouring this image. 
The papers are from Anna Marie Designs called 'Christmas Jingle' and I added lots of glitter to the happy little snowman (although it doesn't show at all!!). 
I die cut the little trees and they were inked and glittered!  The poinsettia is also a die cut which was inked and I added some berries and leaves.  The sentiment was very kindly sent to me by a friend and it was the perfect finishing touch for my card! (Thanks again!)
Thanks for dropping by and don't forget to enter your creation into this fab challenge.  Just remember to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products and please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation - thanks!
See you soon,
Hugs, Karen xx
