Shades of Autumn

Hi crafters,
Happy Halloween!! I love this time of year - I am a Halloween baby and I'm celebrating a special Birthday (50!!!!) this year!  I've just come back from visiting my eldest in University and I'm off to visit my youngest who's just started at Uni, next weekend - the best presents I could wish for!
I also love this time of year for the Autumn colours - absolutely gorgeous!  Love the leaves on this building - stunning!

 It's also Tuesday which means a brand new challenge at Passion for Promarkers.  This week's theme has been chosen by our lovely Elaine and she would like to see 'Shades of Autumn' on your creations. - nice and easy! 

There are 2 fab prizes up for grabs this week and our first generous sponsor is Petal Lu and they are offering one lucky winner a 30% discount voucher to use in their online store.  Their flowers are so beautiful so why not pop over to their store and check them out. 
                                                          
The second prize up for grabs is a 6 pack of promarkers so why not join in with this fab challenge and be in with a chance of winning these great prizes!  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, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme. 

 I made a 'Thank you' card using my new stamp called 'Daisy Squidgy' from  Stamping Bella which I coloured with my promarkers.  I used a great new fold that we used at our last workshop and I'll definitely be using this fold again! 
I made my own flowers to match the one in the image by using various punches and I punched some leaves out of white card and used my green promarkers so they matched the leaves in the image.
Here is another view showing the fold I've used on my card this week.

Thanks for dropping by and I look forward to visiting your blogs to see all your gorgeous creations.
Hugs, Karen xx

Anything Goes

Hi crafters,
We've got a really great challenge over at Passion for Promarkers this week.  Donna has chosen the nice and easy theme - 'Anything Goes' and we are very kindly sponsored by Crafty Sentiments Designs,  They are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digis from their online store.  Their digis are all absolutely gorgeous and so this in an amazing prize!  They have such an amazing range you'll be spoilt for choice!
                                                        
We were lucky enough to have an image to use on our cards this week and I chose 'Emmi Loo - Just Me'.
She's been coloured in with my promarkers and I was determined to use another colour rather than pink for a change!  I didn't realise I was such a pinky girl until recently!!  Anyway, I chose purple and found some papers to match my colour scheme.

I added some purple ribbon (that you can just about see) and various die cuts like the butterfly, banner and border die.  I added some WOC flowers, some small wooden hearts and some pearls to finish off the card.  It's a fancy fold card (not sure what it's called) but I will definitely make some more in this style!
Well thanks for dropping by and don't forget to join in with this nice and easy challenge.
As always to be eligible for the 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. 
See you next time! Hugs, Karen xx

Pretty in Pink

Hi crafters,

Well here we are in October already - whatever happened to September?  Oh well, at least there's some gorgeous autumnal colours to see this time of year!!
It's also time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and our lovely Nat has chosen 'Pretty in Pink' as the theme for this week - nice and easy!
We are kindly sponsored by Little Miss Muffet Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a $6.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  There's a great choice of digis to choose from and we were lucky enough to be given an image to use on our cards this week.
                                                   
                                                           
I've used the gorgeous image called 'Candy Floss Crew Ebony Winter' and I made a picture to hang instead of a card for a change!  We made one in our last card workshop so I decided the image was perfect to make another one!

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some glossy accents to the glasses!  I added some WOC flowers and a lovely pink ribbon so that it could be hung on the wall.  Makes a change from a card I thought!

So why not join in with this week's challenge?
