Fave Colour Combo

 Hi crafters,

I'm in the hot seat this week over at Passion for Markers and for this week's challenge, I would love to see your creations using your fave colour combinations.  

We are kindly sponsored by The Paper Shelter and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online stores.


All the Design Team have used one of their gorgeous images on their cards this week and I've used this 
one called 'Hammock Days'.



I coloured the image with my promarkers and used colours to match my papers!  I added some leaf diecuts to hold up the hammock and added a fence diecut to create a little garden scene!  I diecut some flowers and coloured them in the same green, orange and pink colour combo which is my favourite at the moment!

Some enamel dots and a sentiment finished off the card!

I hope you can join in with this nice and easy challenge!  I'm looking forward to trying some new colour combos after seeing your gorgeous creations.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize|!

See you soon.

Hugs, Karen x

Birthdays

 Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Elaine has given us the nice and easy theme of 'Birthdays'.

We are kindly sponsored by Sheepski Designs and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

I used one of their fab images on my card this week and this one is called 'fuchsias'.

I coloured the gorgeous flowers with my promarkers and added white highlights here and there.  I added some splatters to the card in the same colours and added a layer of embossed card underneath.  I mounted both pieces onto some black card and stamped this gorgeous sentiment onto a banner shape.  I finished the card with a button and some gems.
I hope you are able to join in with this fab challenge this week.  Don't forget, 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!

Easter

 Hi Crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Wendy is in the hot seat and she has given us the fab theme of 'Easter'.  

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

I made this cute Easter card using an image from LOTV and I coloured it with my promarkers.  


 I used some papers from my stash and I think this layout might be quite handy for using up those scraps of paper we collect!  

I added a scalloped die cut and the sentiment is from LOTV as well.  The inside of the card says 'at easter time'.

I hope you all have a lovely Easter and are able to find some crafty time to join in with this week's challenge.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers.  Just make sure to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize!
