Spots and/or Stripes

Hi crafters,
Apologies for the late post!  I've been away on holiday and I thought I'd scheduled this post but I obviously hadn't!
Anyway, this week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers has been chosen by our lovely Jacky and she would like you to use 'spots and/or stripes' on your creations this week.
We are kindly sponsored by Dies to Die For and they are offering the lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

This card is one I made for my gaming-mad son and I thought this LOTV image 'Oliver Game Boy' was perfect for him!  I coloured the image with my promarkers and found some papers in matching colours.  I added some black stars and corners and a couple of candy dots in the corner.  I also added the Happy Birthday text onto a die cut banner.

This is a great theme and it would be great if you could join in and be in with a chance of winning this fabulous prize.  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 and of course follow the theme.
I look forward to seeing your lovely creations!
Hugs, Karen xx

Vibrant Colours

Hi crafters,
Where are these weeks going?  Things have been a little bit crazy lately and my crafting time has been very limited!  My eldest passed his degree with First Class honours, he has a new job in the Lake District which he starts next week, we found a flat for him to rent there and he passed his driving test before he goes!!  We will be taking him up to Cumbria tomorrow - aaargghhh!!
I did manage to get my card done ready for the fab new challenge at Passion for Promarkers,  Our lovely Elaine has chosen the theme of 'Vibrant Colours' - 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.

We were lucky enough to have one of their images to use on our cards this week and I chose 'Jr Hatter - Celeste',

I used a layout from a recent workshop and coloured the image with my promarkers.  I added a bit of stitching to add texture to my card and inked all the papers with distress inks.  Some enamel dots in the centre of the punched flowers were the finishing touch!

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

Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but as always to be eligible for the prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products and of course, follow the theme.

See you soon,

Add a Sentiment

Hi crafters,
Hope you're all enjoying this gorgeous weather we're having and managing to keep cool!
With the World Cup and Wimbledon on the TV - I'm quite happy to be watching a bit of footie and tennis whilst crafting too!
It's time for a brand new challenge at Passion For Promarkers and our lovely Donna has chosen a nice and easy theme  'Add a Sentiment'.
We are kindly sponsored by The Paper Shelter this week and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of  3 digi images from their online store.  Their images are fab and you'll be spoilt for choice with this prize.

We were lucky enough to have one of their images to play with and I chose this fab digi called 'Tucan''.

I used a layout that we used at a recent workshop and made this card for my Dad.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and found some papers in matching colours which I inked with Walnut Stain distress ink.  The card in the centre opens so that I could write a little message and I added the sentiment cut from a stitched circle die.  Here's a view of the card when closed.

It's a great fold for a masculine card as there are plenty of details and I didn't feel the need to add anything else!!
So why not join in with this fab challenge.  Just add a sentiment to your card and remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but as always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products.
Thanks for dropping by!
Hugs,
Karen xx
