Use a die/punch

 Hi crafters,

Hope you are all keeping well.  We have a great new challenge for you this week at Passion for Promarkers and our lovely Elaine would love to see your creations using a die/punch.

We are kindly sponsored by Dr Digi's HOS this week and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digis from their online store.  They have a fantastic selection to choose from and you'll be spoilt for choice with this fab prize!


The Design Team have all used one of their brilliant images this week so have a look at their gorgeous creations for some great ideas!
I have used this image called 'Best Seat in the House'

I decided to create a scene that looked like a front room with the backing papers as the wallpaper!! I coloured the image with my promarkers and this dog is just fab!   I printed a lamp from one of Lisa's CD's and added some matching paper to the lampshade,  The sentimemt is also from the CD and I tried to make it look like a picture on the wall!  I don't know whether I succeeded but that's what I had in my mind anyway!!
A couple of die cut stars and a corner die were the finishing touches to this masculine card which I was quite pleased with - something a bit different anyway!!

Well I  hope you have some crafty time to be able to join in with this week's challenge and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x

Hi crafters,

It;s time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers and this week. Nat has given us the fab theme of 'hobbies/pastimes'.  Nat would like to see your creations featuring hobbies and pastimes that you  (or whoevr you are making the card for!) enjoy.

We are kindly sponsored by All Dressed Up stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.

We were lucky enough to have one of their fab images to use on our cards this week and I made this one for my niece who has just started at Leeds University,  She just loves to read and so this image called 'Time to read' was just perfect to make her a Good Luck card!


I found some lovely papers to use from my stash and coloured the image with my promarkers with coordinating colours.  I diecut the flower from the same papers and added some white leaves go with it.  Some gingham ribbon and some enamel dots were the finishing touches to my card - I also added the University logo to make it a little bit more special!

Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  Remember 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.
I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!
Hugs, Karen x
