Add a Tag

Hi crafters.

I hope you are all keeping well!  These weeks are flying by aren't they - can't believe we're in the middle of November already!

Well it's also time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and our lovely Kitty has chosen the fab theme of 'Add a Tag'.  We are kindly sponsored by Leann's World 101 this week and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digis from their online store.

The Design Team were lucky enough to have one of their gorgeous images for our cards this week and I chose this one called 'Rudy'.

I decided to create a little scene on a tag so I coloured Rudy in with my promarkers and had fun adding die cut trees and creating a snowy landscape!  These die cuts were also inked and glittered.  I stamped the leaves with a stamp which was a freebie in a magazine and glittered these as well! I added some red berries and a gingham ribbon to the tag and also added a pom pom trim along the bottom.  I embossed the background with a snowy embossing folder  and added a couple of snowflakes and holly to finish off.  Well that's another Christmas card done anyway - just need to make a lot more now!!

I hope you're able to join in with this week's challenge.  I'm sure, like me, you're finding crafting a great way to forget about everything going on the world at the moment.

Don't forget, to be eligible for the prize draw, you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products and of course follow the theme.  

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Go Dotty

 Hi crafters.

I've chosen the theme for this week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers and I've gone with the theme 'Go Dotty'.  You can use dotty papers, add dots when colouring or they can be dotty embellishments - a nice and easy challenge.  

We are kindly sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a $6.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I love using dotty papers and I've gone with a black and yellow theme for my card.  I don't normally use black when colouring but I felt it was needed for her wings.

I used a layout that we used in one of our workshops and all the papers have been edged with distress inks.  I also added some dots on her wings with a white gel pen.  I added lots of glitter  after colouring her with my promarkers but the photo doesn't pick that up!  I die cut some flowers and coloured them with distress inks and added a black gem to their centres.  I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and got the heat gun out - I've seen this on a lot of cards lately so I decided to give it a go!

I really hope you can find some crafty time to enter this week's challenge.  Don't forget, it doesn't have to be a card - just remember to use your Letraset products and follow the theme.

We are also looking for new members to join the Design Team to start in the new year.  If you are interested, if you could add DT to your names that would be great.  It's a fab design team to be a part of so why not join in with the fun!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations on your blogs.
