Spots and or/stripes

Hi crafters
Hope you're all doing OK.  We have a very special challenge at Passion for Promarkers this week with both teams taking part and so many wonderful prizes to be won. The theme is spots and/or stripes and here is the list of sponsors and prizes:

Dr Digis House of Stamps - 2 digi images

 Dies to Die For - £20 voucher

Leann's World 101 - 2 digis

Uniko - 1 stamp set (must be in stock)

Cowling & Wilcox - 12 pack of Brushmarkers set 1

Di's Digi Stamps - $6 voucher.

I've made something a bit different for me this week!  I was lucky to receive some new stamps for Mother's Day recently and was determined to have a go and use them!  I had a play with some inks too and here's what I came up with:

I stamped the image and coloured it with my promarkers.  I then inked some colourful clouds behind the image and also created the sun shape with inks,  I stamped some mushrooms and a dragonfly to create a little scene and added plenty of glitter to the stream as well!  I practised stamping the sentiment on a piece of scrap card which had ink on it but liked the effect so much I used it on my card!  The semtiment stamp was a freebie from a magazine and I thought it was perfect with the image!

I added spotty paper, some coordinating flowers and some pearls to finish off the card.  

I haven't made anything like this before but I really enjoyed it and will definitely be making more, especially as the craft shop which sells these stamps is just down the road from me (Lavinia Stamps)!!

I really hope you'll be able to join in with this challenge.  Thanks to our kind sponspors, the prizes are amazing and well woth winning.

Don't forget to use your Letraset products and follow the theme and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x

Hi crafters
Hope you are all OK and finding time to craft during these difficult times - I certainly find it helps take your mind off things.
There's a new challenge for you at Passion for Promarkers and this week, our lovely Elaine would like to see your Baby Projects.   We are kindly sponsored by Colour of Love and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digis from their online store.  I love their images and I have used one of them on my card this week.

I've used their image entitled 'Sleepy Lamb Agnes' and this is so useful for those baby projects.  It could be coloured in pink or blue to suit and I think it looks sweet in lemon yellow too!

I seem to be enjoying yellow and greys at the moment and thought these colours would suit this welsh 'New baby card'.  I found some lovely yellow gingham paper from my stash (which I have recently organised into 1 box!) and some grey spotty paper which you can just about see!
I punched some white flowers and used peel off dots for the centres instead of pearls (just incase) and added the lovely heart banner at the top.  I also embossed the background and added a bit of glitter here and there!  This image is fab and will definitely get used a lot!
So why not join in with this week's challenge.  Remember, to be eligible for the 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 look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.
Hugs, Karen xx
