'Happy & Thankful'

Hi crafters,

It's time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Linda has given us the lovely theme of  'Happy & Thankful'.

We are very kindly sponsored by The Paper Shelter and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.  Such an amazing prize and their images are all absolutely gorgeous.

I've used one of their images on my card this week and this one is called 'The Most Adorable Snowmen'.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added lots and lots of glitter!!  I kept my colour scheme to blue, grey and white and added lots of white die cuts,and added some grey distress ink to the edges.

I found the blue sign post on one of Lisa's CD's called 'The 12 days of Christmas' and it was a perfect match to my blue and grey card.

I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this weeks's challenge.  Remember, you can use any of your markers just make sure you follow the theme to be eligible for this week's prize.

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x

'3 of a kind'

Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and our lovely Kitty has chosen the fab theme of '3 of a Kind'.  

We are kindly sponsored by JMC Designs and they are offering the lucky winner 1 digital collection from their online store which is absolutely full of gorgeous images so you'll be spoilt for choice with this prize!

I have used one of their fab images on my card this week and this one is called 'Cream Tea Chalet'.

I decided to do some paper piecing for this image and used co-ordinating papers for each cup,  I added some shading to the cups and colored the rest of the image with my promarkers.  I added 3 diecut banners in the same papers, as well as 3 diecut toadstools to follow the theme of  '3 of a kind'!  Some glitter and enamel dots finished off the card as well as the stamped sentiment.

Well I hope you'll be able to join in with this great challenge.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers - just remember to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize.

Hugs. Karen x
