Bunnies and/or blooms

 Hi crafters,

Our lovely Lisa G has chosen the theme for the brand new challenge at Passion for Markers this week and Lisa would love to see your creations with bunnies and/or blooms.  A great theme I'm sure you'll agree and we are kindly sponsored by Uniko Stamps who are offering the lucky winner 1 stamp set (which must be in stock).

I used a House Mouse stamp that I haven't used for ages and made a Welsh New Baby card.

It's not a great photo unfortunately but I coloured the image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter!  The background is embossed with a stitched embossing folder which you can't really see and I added a few extra heart diecuts.  I stamped the sentiment onto the circle die cut - it's so much easier with a stamping platform, it gives you the confidence to stamp anywhere on your card without fear of ruining the whole thing!!

A few corner dies and a lovely pink ribbon was the finishing touch - I'm just sorry about the awful photo.

Anyway, I hope you're able to find some crafty time to join in with this week's challenge.  Don't forget, you can use any type of marker - just remember to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this amazing prize.

See you soon!

Hugs, Karen x

Soft Finishes

Hi crafters,

Hope you're all doing OK,  I'm here to let you know about the brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Linda has given us the great theme of 'Soft Finishes'.

We are kindly sponsored by Colour of Love and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from the online store.  The digis available are all absolutely amazing so you'll be spoilt for choice with this prize!

The Design Team were lucky enough to choose one of their gorgeous digis to work with and I used 'Cosmos' for my card.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and then masked the digi to create the clouds in the background,  This is my first attempt at this technique but I've seen so many cards recently with clouds that I had to have a go!  I used Weathered Wood distress ink and a blending brush and was quite pleased with the result - may even have another go soon!

I wanted the image to be the main focus of the card so all I added was a gorgeous ribbon and a button on the bow.  I also added a touch of glitter on her wings and the sentiment was a freebie with a recent magazine.

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's challenge and remember, you can use whatever markers you have - just remember to follow the theme to be eligible for this week's great prize.

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x
