Christmas

 Hi crafters,

The new challenge over at Passion for Markers this week has been chosen by our lovely Wendy and she has given us the super easy theme of 'Christmas'. Wendy would like you to simply make a Christmas themed creation this week.  

Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw, so grab your markers and have fun! 

Our generous sponsor this week is Lili of the Valley stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 4 digi images of their choice from their online store.  All of the DT have used images from Lili of the Valley on their creations this week.

I've used one of their images and this is called 'Christmas mouse house'

It's such a sweet image so I wanted it to be the focal point of my card. I therefore just added some plain embossed squares behind the image to match the colour scheme.  I coloured some diecut holly and berries to match and added some bunting to match those in the image!

I added lots of glitter and finished the card with an LOTV sentiment.

Hopefully this will kickstart my Christmas card making now so if you want to do the same, why not join in with this fab challenge!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x

Spots and/or stripes

 Hi crafters,

This week's challenge over at Passion for Markers has been chosen by our lovely Nat and she would love to see your creations with spots and/or stripes this week.

We are kindly sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 images from their online store.

I've used one of their fab images on my card this week and this one is called 'Dunderton Decorators Ltd'

I coloured the image with my promarkers to match the scraps of papers I added behind him. (I hoped they'd look like wallpaper samples as he's decorating!!)  I added some doodling to my card and inked all the edges with distress ink.

I stamped the text to finish off the card.

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with our challenge this week.  Remember, you can use any of your markers but you must follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning a prize.

See you soon!

Hugs, Karen x
