Friends / friendship

 Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Wendy has given us the fab theme of 'Friends/Friendship'.

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.

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

I coloured the image with my promarkers and found some co-ordinating strips of paper in my stash.  I die cut a couple of frame shapes and added them behind the image on an embossed background.  I inked all the edges with some distress inks and added some matching enamel dots.  

I hope you are able to join in with this week's challenge.  Remember you can use any of your markers but don't forget to 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

Hi crafters,

Another week has flown by and it's time for a brand new challenge at Passion for Markers.

This week, our lovely Nat has given us the fab theme of 'Dots and/or stripes' and we are kindly sponsored by Polkadoodles who are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store. 

The Design Tem were lucky enough to have one of their images to play with this week and I chose this one called 'Butterfly Flowerpots'  

I pasted the image twice and flipped it over so that I had more pots for my card!  I coloured the image with my promarkers and added lots of glitter!  I added some stencilling to the corners and added some dotty ribbon underneath the image - it matches much better in real life!!

The stripey paper was added to fit the theme and some enamel dots were the finishing touches to my card along with the stamped sentiment.

Well I hope you can join in with this week's nice and easy challenge.  Remember, you can use any of your markers but make sure you follow the theme to be eligible for this week's fab prize!

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!

Hugs, Karen x

 Hi crafters, 

A very Happy New Year to you all!  Hope you've had a lovely Christmas and are ready for a brand-new challenge over at Passion for Markers.   

Our lovely Linda has given us a fab theme of 'New Beginnings' i.e. new house, new baby, new job etc.  We will also accept entries using new crafty goodies (please tell us what they are so we can go shopping). We are kindly sponsored by Uniko Stamps who are offering the lucky winner 1 product of their choice - stamp, stencil, die set etc (any value).

I've made a new baby card this week and I've used a gorgeous digi from LOTV called 'Baby with Teddy'

I coloured the image with my promarkers and I've added glitter here and there!  I used up some papers from my stash and inked all the edges with distress inks.  I die cut some hearts and added some matching papers to them and the sentiment is also from LOTV.  

I was really pleased with this card as it is so useful to use up those scrap papers that we all have but can't bear to throw away!!  Some enamel dots were the finishing touch to my card.

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

I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!
