Animals

Hi Crafters.
Hope you're all doing OK and getting through your crafty list!  I'm getting there but not quite finished!  I've still got some felting projects that I want to get the hang of so I'm looking forward to learning a new craft.
There's a brand new challenge for you over at Passion for Promarkers and this week, our lovely Natalie has given us the fab theme of 'Animals'.  We are very kindly sponsored by The Paper Shelter who are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

The Design Team were all kindly given an image from the Paper Shelter this week entitled 'Ducklings'.  It's so cute!

I coloured the image with my promarkers - colouring in is so therapeutic at the moment isn't it - takes your mind off everything.
I've been having a bit of a tidy up with my flower stash and these fell out of the box - the perfect colours to match the image!!  I added some spotty papers, a die cut border and some pink ribbon - and lots of glitter of course!
I think I might use this layout again - handy for those scraps of paper I always keep!
Well I hope you can join in with this week's challenge,  Don't forget to use your promarker products and follow the theme - it could be an animal image or papers, even a diecut or embellishment.
I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.
Hugs, Karen xx

Clean and Simple

Hi crafters,
I hope crafting is helping you all through these difficult times.  I think it definitely helps to take your mind off any worries that we have and helps you keep busy. 
With that in mind, we have a great new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers this week.  Our lovely Lorraine has set the theme of 'Clean and Simple' and we are kindly sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps who are offering the lucky winner a $6.00 voucher to spend in their fab online store.

Well Clean and Simple cards can be a challenge and it's good to come out of our comfort zones sometimes! It's so tempting to add a ribbon here and some glitter there and maybe some flowers as a finishing touch!  But here is the card I came up with anyway.

The stamp is a freebie from a recent magazine and I used the masking technique to place the flowers and leaves where I wanted them.  I coloured them with my promarkers and added the sentiment with my stamping platform which makes stamping onto your finished card so much easier!!

I added a few enamel dots and then walked away before adding anything else!!

It would be great if you could join in with this week's challenge.  Don't forget to use your promarkers and of course, follow the theme and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen xx
