Special Anniversary Challenge

Hi crafters,
We have a very special challenge for you this week at Passion for Promarkers as it's our 9th Anniversary and as it's a special challenge, we have a really easy theme for you of "birthday creations".  As the title suggests we simply want you to make something for a birthday!  We expect to see lots of entries this week but please note we are only accepting a maximum of 3 entries per person for this one challenge only.  To be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton/Letraset products (i.e. pro, flex, tria, aqua, metallic or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.
As always we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs and our sponsors have been very generous as usual .

DigiStamp Boutique is offering one lucky winner a prize of a £10.00 voucher

Dies to Die For are offering one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher

Uniko Stamps are offering one lucky winner 1 stamp set (in stock) of their choice

Di’s Digi Stamps are offering one lucky winner a $12.00 voucher

Cowling & Wilcox are offering one lucky winner a 6 pack of Promarkers (vibrant tones)

All Dressed Up stamps are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice

Wow, these are amazing prizes aren't they?  Definitely lots of reasons to join in the fun this week!! 

My card is for a friend's 40th Birthday!  I love this stamp from Stamping Bella - always handy for a girly celebration card!

I coloured them with my promarkers but I paper pieced their dresses to match the backing papers, I added her name just to make it a bit more special and I also added glossy accents to their red wine!!

I added my usual WOC flowers and a bit of glitter here and there (of course).

So why not join in with this special challenge this week and be in with a chance of winning one of these amazing prizes?  Don't forget to use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) and of course follow the theme.

I look forward to visiting your blogs to see your gorgeous creations.

Hugs,

Karen xx

Gems / Pearls

Hi crafters,
It's a new week and time for a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers!  Our lovely Linda has chosen a nice and easy theme for us and it's 'Gems / Pearls'. 
We are kindly sponsored by Ppinkydolls and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.  Their images are amazing and you'll be spoilt for choice with this prize.

I decided to create a keepsake for a friend to celebrate the birth of a baby daughter.  I bought a deep box frame and used my promarkers to colour an LOTV stamp.  I added a bit of glitter here and there and added lots of die cuts to fill the frame,  Some WOC flowers were added as well as a cute little wooden button.  Pearls were added to the bunting and in the corners and I added the name, date and weight of birth to personalise the frame and make it just that little bit more special.  It would be lovely to think that it will be up on the wall for years to come anyway!

So why not join in with this great challenge and be in with a chance of winning s great prize!  You can enter any type of creation and don't forget to follow the theme and use your Winsor and Newton products (formerly Letraset).

Thanks for dropping by and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen xx

Embossing Challenge

Hi Crafters,
I hope you've all had a good week and are ready for another great challenge at Passion for Promarkers!  Our lovely Kitty has chosen the theme this week and she would like to see some 'Embossing' on your cards (wet or dry).
We are kindly sponsored by Sasayaki Glitter this week and they are offering the lucky winner 1 digi image from their online store.  All their images are absolutely gorgeous and the Design Team were lucky enough to have one of their lovely images to play with this week for our cards.  Have a look on their blogs to see what they've been up to - we all chose the same image this week as it was so cute!

This image is called 'Gift Amy' and she was great to colour in!

I've used my promarkers and a touch of glitter on the image,  I punched some flowers to match those on one of the parcels and added some emerald dots to the centres.  I stamped my sentiment onto some kraft card, added some white embossing powder (instead of black) and used the heat gun.  I've been wanting to try this technique for a long time and I'll definitely be doing this again!!

 I hope you can join in with the challenge this week and I look forward to seeing what you create.

 Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  As always to be eligible for the prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products  and of course follow the theme.  Please can you help us by stating which products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.

See you soon, Karen xx
