Have a Heart


Hi crafters,
I'm back with a card for this week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers!  Our lovely Nat has chosen a nice and easy theme for this week entitled 'Have a Heart'.  It could be anything from papers with a heart design, heart embellishments or a heart in the image on your card - so why not join in and be in with a chance of winning a prize!
We are kindly sponsored by 'A Day for Daisies' and they are offering the lucky winner a $12.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  Their images are amazing and you're sure to find some you love!

We were lucky enough to have some of their gorgeous images to play with and I chose 'You may kiss the bride'.
This Wedding Card has been made for a special couple as the husband is French and the bride is Welsh.  So I found some papers with the Eiffel Tower (of course) and on the tag behind the image, there is a verse from the Welsh National anthem!  This is the only way I could think of having something from the two countries on the card!  Hope they like it anyway!
I coloured the image with my promarkers and added plenty of glitter to the dress!  I added some organza ribbon to the tag, some WOC flowers and a few heart embellishments to finish off the card.  Oh and the base layer is embossed with a heart embossing folder and I added some pearls here and there.
Thanks for dropping by and I look forward to visiting your blogs to see your gorgeous creations for this challenge.  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 and of course follow the theme. 
See you again soon!
Hugs, Karen xx

Love and Kisses

Hi crafters,
Hope you are all keeping warm this week with this cold spell that we are having!
It's time for a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and this week, our lovely Lorraine C has chosen a fab theme - 'Love and kisses'.  Perfect for your Valentines card or it could even just be a Birthday card!
We are kindly sponsored by All Dressed Up and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.

We were lucky enough to have one of their gorgeous images for our cards this week and I've used 'A kiss for valentines' for my project this week.
I loved colouring this one in with my promarkers and those giraffes are too cute!  I love pink and cream together and so I decided to colour the giraffes in these colours as well!!  That's why I love colouring in so much i think - a bit of artistic licence now and then is great!!
I die cut some flowers out of the pages of an old book and inked the edges with 'Antique Linen' distress ink.  I embossed the base layer and inked the edges of all the papers as well.  I found some pearl brads for the centre of the flowers and a couple of pink buttons were the finishing touch!
So why not have a go at making a card using this theme and enter it in our challenge for this week.  You never know - you could win a couple of gorgeous digis!
Don't forget to use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products and I look forward to visiting your blogs to see all your lovely creations!
See you soon,
Karen xx
