Add some sparkle

 Hi crafters,

Another week flies by and it's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers.  Our lovely Wendy has chosen the fab theme of 'Add some sparkle' for this week and we are kindly sponsored by All Dressed Up stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.

I've used one of their gorgeous images for my card this week and this one is called 'Sassy'

I coloured her with my promarkers and added lots of glitter which you just can't see in the photo!!  I fussy cut her out and placed her on my card with foam pads.  I added some matching papers and did a bit of doodling around the edges.  I added a diecut sentiment in white card as well as a stamped sentiment.  Some enamel dots here and there finished off the card.

I hope you can join in with this fab challenge and don't forget, you can use any of your markers.  Just follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize!

See you soon!

Hugs, Karen x

Masculine

Hi crafters,

It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Nat has chosen the theme 'Masculine'.  

We all have to make those male cards so it's great to be challenged sometimes to create them!

We are kindly sponsored by Polkadoodles who are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.  They have some great images on there so you'll be spoilt for choice with this prize!

I've made a card using one of their gorgeous images and this one is called 'BBQ Chef, cook gnome for men'.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and then fussy cut him out.  I did some brick style stencilling behind him and added some white highlights here and there.  I found some perfect papers in my stash and added a sentiment as well as some enamel dots.  I think this card would be perfect for a male birthday!

I hope you can join in with this week's challenge and don't forget, you can use any of your markers.  Follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize and most importantly - have fun!

See you soon,

Real or faux stitching

Hi crafters,

Our lovely Kitty has chosen this week's challenge over at Passion for Markers and Kitty would love to see your creations with real or faux stitching.

We are kindly sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps and they are offering the lucky winer a £6.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I made a Birthday card using an LOTV image called 'Little Mouse Flowers'

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added white highlights with a gel pen.  I used a stitched die to cut out the image and mounted this onto some blue card.  I embossed a couple of the squares in the background and the other squares are actually a napkin which has been mounted onto card.  I cut all the squares with a stitched die too in order to follow this week's theme of faux or real stitches.

Some enamel dots and a printed sentiment finished off my card.

I hope you are able to join in with this week's fun challenge!  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers but you must follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize!

See you next time.

Hugs, Karen xx

Floral vibes

 Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and it's my turn in the hot seat this week!  I've chosen the theme 'Floral vibes' and we are kindly sponsored by Sheepski Designs who are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

I made a Birthday card using one of their gorgeous images and this one is called 'Sunflowers'.  

I coloured the image with my promarkers and then fussy cut them out.  I inked the background and added some stamped text to go behind the sunflowers.  I then stamped the sentiment and added some enamel dots.  A bit of glitter was also added!!

I hope you can join in with my challenge this week,  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers but remember to include a hand coloured image to be eligible for the prize. You can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card and have fun!

Hi crafters,

Our lovely Elaine has chosen the theme for this week's challenge at Passion for Markers and Elaine would love to see your creations using your 'Fave embellishments'.

We are kindly sponsored by Dr Digi's HOS and they are offering the lucky winner 1 digi image from their online store.

I've made a Birthday card for my golf mad brother and this image called 'Hole in one Hal' was perfect!

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added white highlights here and there with a gel pen.  I fussy cut the image and placed it on an embossed diecut circle to make it look like a giant golf ball!!

I diecut some smaller circles (more golf balls!!) as well as some clouds and grass and added them to my card and these are my favourite embellishments.  I also diecut a triangle shape and cut a thin piece of black card to resemble the flags on a golf course!

I had great fun creating this card and I hope my brother liked it!!

I hope you can join in with this week's fab challenge.  Remember, you can use any of your markers but you must follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize!

Happy crafting!

Under the Sea

 Hi crafters

Our lovely Wendy has chosen this week's theme for the new challenge at Passion for Markers and Wendy would love to see your creations with images from 'Under the Sea'.

We are kindly sponsored by Leann's World 101 who are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.

I've used one of their gorgeous images on my card this week and this one is called 'Ashera'.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter as well as white highlights here and there.  I inked the background and added some gems to look like extra bubbles!  I added a die cut frame and the sentiment is from LOTV.  I also created an inky background but then managed to cover most of it!!

I hope you find time to join in with this fun challenge!  You can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize!

Have fun and I'll see you soon.

Hugs, Karen x

I've made this Birthday card for a lovely friend who absolutely loves hares and I thought this image was perfect!

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some white highlights here and there with a gel pen.

I found some co-ordinating papers and inked all the edges.  I stamped the sentiment which I think is actually one of my favourites!
