Use 3 of anything

Hi crafters,

It's time for a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week, our lovely Linda has given us the theme of 'Use 3 of anything'.  Linda doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as you have 3 of something on your creations.  It can be 3 images, 3 embellishments, 3 papers etc, it’s entirely up to you.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Leann's World 101 and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Leann's World 101 on their creations this week. 


I used this image called 'Roses' on my card this week.  

I really enjoyed colouring these roses and wanted them to be the main focus of the card.  I decided therefore to stamp some text behind the image and did some inking too - this then made the roses pop! (hopefully!)  I stamped the large sentiment directly onto the card and embossed the smaller sentiment with white embossing powder.  Three enamel dots (to go with the theme) finished off the card.

I hope you can get some crafty time over the Easter break to join in with this week's challenge.  Remember, 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.

hugs, Karen x

Shaped Cards

 Hi crafters,

This week's challenge over at Passion for Markers has been set by our lovely Kitty and she would love to see your 'Shaped Cards'.  

We are kindly sponsored by Sheepski Designs and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 3 digi images from their online store.

I have used one of their images on my card this week and this one is called 'Dahlias'.


I have made a twisted Easel Card and I coloured the image with my promarkers.  I printed an extra dahlia and mounted it on foam pads to give it some dimension.  I wanted the flowers to be the main focus so I kept my background papers in the neutral colours of grey and dark blue.  I printed the sentiments on the computer and added some pearls in the corner as the finishing touch!
It's a bit tricky to get a good photo of an easel card so this is how it looks when it lies flat!

Well I hope you can join in with this week's fun challenge.  Remember, you can use any of your markers but make sure you 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
