Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Kitty has chosen the lovely theme of 'Feminine Cards'.  

We are kindly sponsored by Leann's World 101 and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.  They have some gorgeous images and the Design Team have all used one of their images on their cards this week for some inspiration.

I decided to make a shaker card this week - not done one of these for ages!  I matched the sprinkles to those in the image and stamped a sentiment to go in the aperture before adding the sprinkles!! I found some lovely feminine papers in my stash and inked all the edges with some distress ink.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter! I finished it off with a die cut flower and some pearls.

I hope you can find some time to join in with this week's challenge.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x

Let's Celebrate

 Hi crafters,

I'm in the hot seat this week at Passion for Markers and I've chosen the theme of 'Let's Celebrate' for this week's brand new challenge!  I'd love to see your creations celebrating a birthday, wedding, anniverary, new baby etc.- the list is endless!

We are kindy sponsored by All Dressed Up and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.

I've used one of their images on my card this week and this one is called 'Birthday Monkey'.

I decided to make an easel card for a change - not done one of these for ages!  I've coloured the image with my promarkers  and I added some diecut leaves above the image.  I inked all the edges with distress inks and found some co-ordinating papers in my stash!  Some enamel dots and a printed sentiment were the finishing touches to my card!

I hope you'll be able to join in with my challenge this week.  Don't forget, you can use any of your markers - let us know what you've used in your post - and remember to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this fab prize!

Fav Colour Combo

 Hi Crafters,

We have a brand new challenge at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Elaine has chosen the fab theme of 'Fave colour combo'.  A nice and easy challenge this week as I'm sure if you're like me, my fav colour combo changes all the time!!

We are very kindly sposored by Dr Digi's HOS and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.

We were very lucky to have one of their images to play with on our cards this week and I chose this one called 'Morag the Moo'.

I made this card for my brother so I used some masculine colours but this image would be great in feminine colours too I think!  I chose green and brown as my fav colour combo and I really like these colours together!

I coloured the image with my promarkers and added some fine colour pencils to create the texture on Morag!  I used a scalloped border die to create the cloud edging and added some cloud die cuts as well!  I added the sentiment to one of them too!  Some doodling and enamel dots were the finishing touches to my card - hope he likes it!

I hope you'll be able to join in with ths fun challenge.  Don't forget you can use any of your markers - just let us know what you've used in your post and remember to follow the theme to be in with a chance of winning this great prize!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations.

Hugs, Karen x
