Go dotty

 Hi crafters,

There's a brand new challenge over at Passion for MarkersPassion for Markers and it's my turn in the hot seat!  I've chosen the theme 'Go Dotty' for this week - nice and easy!  

We are kindly sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps who are offering the lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

I've made a 30th Birthday card for a friend this week.

The image has been coloured with my promarkers and I did some paper piecing for the dresses to go with my dotty theme!  I added some glossy accents to the wine glasses and some glitter here and there.  I die cut some flowers and added some black enamel dots to the centres, I also added a couple of dots around the image.  I personalised the card to make it extra special too!

I hope you can join in with this week's challenge.  Remember you can use any of your markers - just let us know in your post what you've used.  Have fun and remember 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

I've made a Wedding card this week for my nephew.  The image is coloured with my promarkers and then I fussy cut it out and placed it over some stencilling.  
I inked all the edges in the same ink and added a border across the front with a die cut sentiment.

I added some flowers and the card was personalised to make it extra special.

I added some pearls and glitter as the finishing touch!

I hope you can join in with this fab challenge this week and I'm sure you'll agree that the prizes are amazing.

See you soon,

Birthdays

 Hi crafters,

I'm here to let you know about the brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers.  This week, our lovely Elaine has given us the nice and easy theme of 'Birthdays'.

We are kindly sponsored by Digi's House of Stamps and they are offering the lucky winner a choice of 2 digi images from their online store.


The Design Team were lucky enough to use their images on our cards this week and I've used this one called 'Cheshire Cat'

I printed the papers from Lisa's Animal Antics CD and coloured the image with my promarkers. The sentiment is also from the CD and I thought it was perfect for this image!
All the papers have been edged with distress inks and I added a touch of glitter too!
I hope you can join in with this week's fab 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.
See you soon,
Karen x
