WOW amazing prizes – we’re sure you’ll agree!

This is the card I made at our recent Promarker workshop.
These little cuties were coloured with my promarkers and I found some co-ordinating papers to go with them.  I added a diecut poinsettia as well as some branches to match those in the image!  I added some glitter and white gel pen and of course, a sentiment to go with this week's theme!
I hope you can find some crafty time over the Christmas holidays as there are some amazing prizes for the lucky winners!
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas!
Hugs, Karen x

Add some bling

 Hi crafters,

There's a new challenge over at Passion for Markers which has been set by our lovely Elaine from Team 2 and she has given us the super easy theme of 'add some bling'. Elaine would simply like you to make a creation that includes some type of bling on it e.g. gems, stickles, glittery card, sequins etc.  

Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw; so grab your markers and have fun! 

Our generous sponsor this week is Clearly Besotted Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  


I made an Engagement card for my niece!  They were on a lovely beach whilst on holiday and when Lucy turned around from looking at the sea, her boyfriend had gone down on one knee and proposed!  It was so romantic that I wanted the card to remind them of this very special moment!  I hope it does anyway!


I tried the eclipse method that I've seen so much of lately and coloured the bears with my promarkers to match the sunset colours,  I added some bling in the form of glitter and pearls and personalised the card with their names!
I hope you can find some crafty time to join in with this week's fun challenge and I look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!
Hugs,
